Community Life
The community life skills module aims to teach independence in a practical and meaningful way. The life skills are taught out in the community in natural contexts such as cafes, shops and public transport. The highly evidence based method of video modelling enables others such as parents to continue the teaching outside of the programme hours. As the student progresses from Blossom Explore to Blossom Gateway budgeting, time keeping and independent daily planning are incorporated into the programme.
