Functional Skills for Adult Living

 

As young people transition into adult life there remains an opportunity to teach functional and relevant skills in the areas of communication, leisure management, independence, and participation in work and community settings.

The focus of adult living becomes how we spend our time together in meaningful ways, and the outcome for adults with disabilities can be greatly enhanced with focused and meaningful learning in these key areas.

 

Join us on April 23, as Nate Searle and Michelle Auton present an overview of Functional Skills for Adult Living.

 

Light refreshments will be provided courtesy of the JET Program (Jobs, Education, and Training).

 

Proceeds from this event will help support JET Program initiatives.

As a long time reading member of this chat board I don't post often but have found useful information and somtimes even comfort from individual's stories posted here. It saddens me to see the personal attacks and defensive positions taken by some members of the chat . For those of you who do not know him Avery is a great resource and advocate for children with Autism and I for one will greatly miss his postings should he (if I understood his last message I apologize if I did not) decide not to help again.
A friend told me more than once the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I understand this web site to be a place to exchange information and to help one another .The greatest resource for support I have found over the years is other parents. I can't think of where my son would be if not for Sabrina and FEAT of BC and all this is somthing Sabrina did not have to do, her child was being help. I understand the frustrations when begining a program or working with a child who is aggressing and perhaps the comment that was missed in the posting was that this was a new behaviour and programing needs some time to work and to collect data. To all those who help thank you, and no matter what our strong feelings I hope we can come together and help one another without judgement and personal attacks. There are enough forces at work harming our children and oursleves lets refrain from hurting one another.
I for one have found the chat more and more difficult to read and I worry upon reading some of the infighting going on we may have turned a new family away from ABA and a child away from help. This is posted in the hope that people will support one another and not hurt one another and nothing else. Take what helps leave the rest behind.

Eternal thanks to Sabrina Freeman for all you have done for my family and for us all.
