This course is all about developing skills to live more independently, both in the home and the world at large
The programme covers:
Everyday home skills
Students develop skills relating to the home, like vacuuming, washing up, recycling, and bed making. They also investigate ways they can plan for healthy eating and lifestyle.
Safety and risks
Students learn how to stay safe in the home and how to manage risks, for example fire safety, hygiene and kitchen safety.
This includes personal safety outside the home, for example travelling safely on public transport and looking after personal belongings.
Self-advocacy and understanding yourself
We also learn about ways we can speak and act for ourselves, and decisions we can make that can help encourage positive and fulfilling lives.
Our approach
We mix practical activities, games and discussion to foster specific and transferable skills to give people more confidence and be in control of more of their life in and out of the home.
We use technology to aid communication and learning based on each student's needs to ensure we provide a truly inclusive experience. And we set home tasks to involve parents and carers in students' progress and to ensure that learning continues outside Share.
