Independent Living is designed to develop<br />
confidence and competence in completing<br />
everyday tasks that will support greater<br />
independence.<br />
These programmes recognise the need for<br />
learners to develop an awareness of the<br />
community, to develop basic cooking skills,<br />
personal hygiene routines, money skills and<br />
manage appropriate relationships. Each year<br />
the programme will stretch and challenge<br />
learners to build on what was achieved in<br />
previous years.<br />
Learners will participate in healthy exercise,<br />
visit community locations to shop and<br />
learn about money and develop improved<br />
communication skills and confidence<br />
to make choices about their everyday<br />
activities.<br />
