Life-skills, or daily living skills, are abilities that our loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities need to achieve their highest level of independence. These include skills related to managing money, personal hygiene, medication management, taking care of living spaces, laundry, cooking, transportation, and shopping.
Please join us for a three-workshop series for caregivers about supporting life-skills learning for children, teens and young adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities. You will need to come to the workshop with at least one idea for a life-skill that you want your loved one to work on.
We will cover:
· The process of teaching and reinforcing life-skills
· The self-advocate’s perspective on the challenges in developing these skills
Workshop #2 is scheduled for May 23. Workshop #3 is scheduled for June 25. Please check back on the WIHD calendar of events for details.
