Development of Daily Living and Life Skills
Life skills development helps you learn, practise and master the things that make everyday life more independent, at a pace that suits you.
What this service means
This support is about learning, not just getting things done. Your support worker works alongside you to practise skills such as cooking, managing money, using public transport or communicating with others, until you feel confident to do them yourself.
Goals are set together and progress is celebrated, with the aim of needing less support over time as your independence grows.
