Daily Living Skills / Independence Living skills
Activities of daily life skills are crucial for independent living. We focus on
training children in essential daily tasks, ensuring they can manage their
personal needs effectively and confidently navigate their environment,
fostering a sense of independence and self-reliance. Mastering these skills,
children can develop a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem as they
become more self-sufficient in their daily lives.
Some essential DLS for special children include:
– Personal care (grooming, dressing, cleaning)
– Meal preparation and cooking
– Housekeeping and organization
– Time management and scheduling
– Money management and budgeting
– Communication and social skills
– Self-advocacy and assertiveness
– Safety and emergency procedures
