The Life Skills program offers training and support to adults who have a developmental disability and children who have special needs. The program focus is to teach individuals independence in daily living. We assess a person's skill level by doing a strengths and needs assessment. With this information the individual, staff, families, advocates, and significant others work together to develop short-term goals.
