Life Skills Training
Targeted programs to develop everyday life skills such as cooking, budgeting, transport, and community participation.
Life skills training supports people to develop the everyday skills needed for independence and participation. Our occupational therapists work with you to build practical skills through meaningful, goal-directed activities.
Training is individualised and practised in real settings - at home, in the community, or wherever the skills will actually be used - so learning transfers to everyday life.
