I work on goals in the community and at homes with others with intellectual disabilities focusing on social skills, boundaries, healthy environments, engaging in appropriate communications and behaviors with other peers.
Work to improve their skills over a period of time and appropriate behaviors and redirecting, prompting and charting all behaviors.
teaching skills at all times with those with the disabilities to learn independent skills, ie: with their finances, hygience, communication, behaviors, tactics to handle frustrating sitiations using visual and verbal prompts.
Continuing to strengthen them to grow in their indepence within the community as well as their home atmosphere.
