Life skills

Developing independent life skills can be challenging for children and teenagers with neurodiversity. At the Elijah Social Cognitive Skills Centre, we promote independence and confidence through a range of activities. Individuals engage in sequencing tasks, such as making sandwiches, preparing their own lunches, taking out the bins, and washing up, to enhance their practical life skills. Self-care routines are also emphasised, teaching individuals’ important tasks like dressing themselves, washing their hands, and maintaining personal hygiene. These activities are designed to empower individuals and help them gain the skills necessary for daily living. By fostering these skills, we aim to build their confidence and prepare them for greater independence in the future.
