Skills for Life

Institute students receive support in all aspects of daily living.  From managing a household to cooking healthy meals to caring for their personal safety and health, faculty and staff teach our students all aspects of independent living.

Through instruction using the LCE curriculum, students learn all the pertinent skills to live fairly independent lives.   This instruction allows them to integrate into society as happy, successful adults.  Some key skills acquired by our students include:

  • Maintain a clean, neat living space.
  • Plan, shop for, prepare and clean up after meals.
  • Demonstrate the ability to maintain a nutritionally balanced diet.
  • Understand when to seek appropriate medical care or attention.
  • Begin the process of self-medicating.
  • Understand what is necessary to remain healthy and safe.
  • Maintain a neat and clean appearance on a daily basis.
  • Demonstrate an awareness of surroundings and use sound judgment when out in the community.
  • Understand how to react in an emergency situation in the program and/or in the community.
