Developing Personal Hygiene and Cleanliness Life-Skills: Life Skills Series for Parents and Caregivers of Teens and Young Adults with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities

June 6, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am

Life skills, or daily living skills, are abilities that our loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities need to achieve their highest level of independence. These include skills related to managing money, personal hygiene, medication management, taking care of living spaces, laundry, cooking, transportation, and shopping.

Join us for our first workshop in our Life-Skills Summer Series:

Personal Hygiene and Cleanliness

Developing good personal hygiene habits is an important part of participating in community life. This workshop focuses on how parents and caregivers of people with intellectual or developmental disabilities can help their children who are transitioning into adulthood to develop more awareness and independence in care of themselves and their surroundings.

We will cover:

· The process of teaching and reinforcing hygiene life-skills

· The self-advocate’s perspective on the challenges in developing these skills
