Life+Skills

Life Skills is a huge umbrella which includes a variety of general social skills, vocational skills that can help students be successful in the work place, community access, and independent living skills. Research shows that most students with a disability are capable of learning and doing specific tasks in the work force. However, they lose those jobs because they do not interact appropriately with customers, co-workers, and bosses. I want to help change those statistics. I believe we do students no favor when we accept inappropriate behaviors because they are 'special'. They must function in the real world with real people at real jobs. Let's give them the skills to do so successfully.
