The Transitional Skills Curriculum is designed to promote life skills for adults with goals of independent or semi-independent living and/or employment. Skills such as cleaning, laundry, cooking, budgets and money handling, relationship skills, personal safety, basic employment skills, and community skills will just be some of the skills covered for adults enrolled in the program. Activities will take place in a home-like environment and in the community. Adults will be supervised by trained staff and with a low adult to staff ratio.
