What does Life Skills Development include?

This service focuses on practical, everyday abilities that empower individuals to live more independently, participate more fully in their communities, and make informed decisions.

• We can support participants with:
• Budgeting and managing personal finances
• Understanding and paying bills
• Meal planning, grocery shopping, and basic cooking
• Communication skills (verbal, written, and digital)
• Time management and daily scheduling
• Using public transport and travelling independently
• Social interaction and interpersonal skills
• Problem-solving and decision-making
• Self-advocacy and personal safety awareness

These supports are provided one-on-one or in small group settings, based on the participant’s goals, comfort, and learning style.

Where can this service take place?

Depending on your goals, we can support skill development:

• At home (e.g. cooking, cleaning, budgeting)
• Out in the community (e.g. transport, shopping, navigation)
• In shared spaces or day programs
• Via virtual coaching (where appropriate)

This service is available as part of an individual plan, or integrated into a broader support program.
