Daily Living Skills Program
Most of us select matching socks without a thought, but to a person who is
visually impaired it can be a challenge.
As vision changes, a person is prompted to do things differently. Daily living
skills instruction helps a person achieve every day tasks safely and easily.
In the comfort of ones' home, individuals are taught skills to maintain or reclaim
his/her independence. We teach techniques to help a person care for themselves,
enriching the quality of their life. Our clients learn safety methods in the
kitchen and how to maintain a household. They are introduced to alternative
methods for every day tasks like handling money. Different approaches for record
keeping may include large print, Braille, computers or tape recorders. They
learn eating skills, personal care and labeling techniques. Our clients learn
about adaptive phones, check writing guides, books on tapes and talking items
that may be helpful to them.
