Independent Living Skills
How we interact with people has a great deal to do with how we feel about ourselves. Our students’ social experiences are often amplified by the challenges they face every day. We support and reinforce appropriate social skills daily, through the following programs:
The CLE Mentor
This is a graduate student who acts as a big brother or sister. These relationships are low-key and friendly, often involving things like going to lunch, the mall, the bank, or even playing video games.
Social-skills groups
These are groups that come togetether around events like movies, bowling, dinner, trips to the gym, etc. They are totally optional, usually totally fun, and always a great venue for expressing or just sitting back and taking it all in.
Social events
We could simply call these “events”. They’re kind of a big deal, very popular and include things like trips to see a Broadway musical, art exhibits, local festivals, and fishing trips.
