SOCIAL STAMINA YOUTH

Adaptive skills training is designed to enhance the individual's overall quality of life. Individual's age 2 to adult are able to access these services. Principles and procedures for assessing and shaping behavior are used to target the following skill areas: functional academics, self-help skills, safety skills, community access, communication, social skills, job prerequisites, and self-management. An assessment is conducted using an adaptive skills assessment. Once the assessment is completed, a report is composed and submitted to the funding source (regional center or private pay). The assessment report will provide an overview of the individual's skill deficits, targeted goals, and behavior change procedures that will drive program development and implementation. All programs are structured to record quantitative and qualitative data, which are used to drive the decision-making process. Skills are taught in the home and community environments.
