Frequently asked questions
Where does the training happen?
Almost always in the place the skill is actually used — the person's kitchen, their bank, the bus they'd take, the doctor's office. That's how skills stick.
How is progress measured?
Each person's plan defines goals and how progress will be tracked. Reviews happen regularly so support can adjust.
Is this only for people leaving residential settings?
No. It can fit anyone wanting to build specific independent-living skills, whether they're in residential support, at home, or somewhere in between.
