daily living skills

We help children achieve independence with self-care skills, daily routines and important routines like:

·      Getting ready for school

·      Washing hands

·      Brushing teeth

·      Participating in family outings (restaurants, parks, shopping)

·      Going to the doctor or dentist

·      Getting a haircut

·      Taking medication

·      Independent play/work routines (homework)

If this is an area of difficulty, we typically begin by carefully assessing the issue to determine whether it’s due to skills that the child needs to learn or barriers, such as problem behaviors, low motivation or need for specific supports.

The action plan is individualized to the child and their needs and skills, and usually addresses the issue from all three angles: Providing supports, teaching the specific skills and addressing barriers (including decreasing problem behaviors). We work with the whole family to ensure success in all settings.
