The occupational therapy department holds a life skills group that is targeted towards pre-teens and teens whom have difficulty with daily living skills. Areas that are addressed include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Dressing/appropriateness of clothing
• Personal hygiene
• Health and Nutrition
• Exercise
• Transportation
• Meal preparation/cooking
• Kitchen/home safety
• Household chores/clean up
• Safety awareness
• Shopping/gift giving
• Ordering at restaurants
• Advanced telephone use
• Working constructively within a peer group setting
• Money management

These skills are taught in as realistic situations as possible, which may include outings to area restaurants, stores, or appropriate facilities. It is a fun and exciting way to incorporate learning of these crucial skills for your pre-teen/teenaged child; as well as working with their peers.
