Prepare for Life
Prepare for Life: An Individualized Adaptive Life Skills Course
Adaptive behaviour (life) skills are considered one of the best predictor of success for a transition to independence.
What are adaptive life skills? These are the real life skills that most of us begin to learn in our households at a young age and continue to master many of these skills well into adulthood. They include grooming, dressing, safety, shopping for groceries and clothes, making friends, transportation skills, cleaning and other household skills, ability to work and last but not least money management.
Prepare for Life is a 12-week course that directly teaches and practices these skills. Each of the weekly two-hour classes involves assessment; direct teaching of the skill and opportunities to practice the skill in the appropriate context. Coursework involves activities that incorporate newly developed skills into daily life.
Prepare for Life is a 12 week course for autistic young adults looking to move forward into independence and adulthood. The focus of this program is on developing adaptive life skills and building an understanding of the importance of these skills and how they apply to personal wellbeing and success with life transitions.
Supportive, individualized coaching and planning is provided to assist individuals with their goals and next steps.
