Skills Teaching Through Experiential Learning Workshop

These practical workshops will help front-line staff to teach skills, as guided by the individual’s they support.  Skills can be taught in a range of areas, for example, independent living, communication, activities of daily living, self-care, decision making, leisure/fun, friendships and money management, etc. 

  

We have cut down on all the paperwork. The workshops will be full of role-plays and examples. There are no assignments.
