Independent Life Skills Curriculum
Intent
To facilitate the development of independent skills across a range of activities in preparation for adult life.
Independent life skills can allow young adults to work autonomously and feel more positive about their life choices. These skills allow young adults to make properly informed decisions and take care of themselves properly. There are several categories of independent living skills such as;
- Personal care, which includes good hygiene.
- Personal organisation which includes tracking items and managing time.
- Food preparation which includes cooking, buying necessities and storing food appropriately.
- Clothing care which includes doing laundry, sorting clothes and buying new attire.
- Home maintenance which includes cleaning, organisation and budgeting.
