Skills Training

Disability Options Network, Center for Independent Living, can offer a variety of support to help individuals develop new skills that will increase independence. To achieve this, an Independent Living Plan will be created. The plan will have established goals that are developed along with the consumer.

The staff at the Center for Independent Living works in partnership with an individual to develop necessary daily skills. These daily living skills can be essential when an individual takes the bold path to achieving independence.

Skills training can be very broad and include management of finances, learning basic meal preparation, learning how to use public transit, learning how to direct your attendant care, etc. 

The goal is for the individual to develop needed skills on their own, therefore, the emphasis will be on guiding the person.
