Do more yourself

Development of Life Skills

This is about learning to do more for yourself. Cooking a meal. Keeping on top of your money. Catching the right bus. Using your phone and staying in touch. We teach it in the real world, not in a classroom — in your own kitchen, on the bus route you actually take, at your own speed. We go over things as many times as you need.

What's included

  • Cooking, planning meals and staying safe in the kitchen
  • Money, banking and paying bills
  • Catching public transport, and feeling safe doing it
  • Phones, computers and staying safe online
  • Personal care and household routines, taught step by step
  • Speaking up for yourself and making your own decisions

Who it's for

People working towards doing more on their own — often young adults moving out of home, or anyone whose plan goals include more independence.

Questions about life skills

It is different for everybody, and anyone who gives you a set number of weeks is guessing. What we will do is write down clear steps, so you and your family can actually see the progress between plan reviews.
