Training for daily life

Our course of training for daily life activities consists in a period of individual preparation for the person with disability; or, if not allowed by functional limitations, we involve family members, other minders, or professional assistants. The daily life activities we train for include:

functional mobility
personal hygiene
kitchen work
use of a wheelchair
games
dressing
manual skills and abilities
outdoor activities

Besides training, the protocol of our daily life course includes:

an evaluation, to identify functional limitations, which, besides setting out objective difficulties derivating from such limitations, also brings out subjective and relations-centred issues;
an identification of problem-solving strategies. Together with the person with disability, we work towards finding solutions to the problems identified by the evaluation.

Beside the occupational therapist, staff who may take part include: the peer counsellor, the social worker, the psychologist.
