1:1 life skills training is customized to each participant’s goals, with a clear, measurable plan. For example, if the goal is employment readiness, we might focus on creating a cover letter in two sessions and practicing customer service scenarios over four. Sessions include targeted activities like resume building, role-playing, and weekly tasks. Progress is reviewed monthly to build confidence and real-world skills.
We begin with an assessment to identify specific, achievable goals. For instance, if the goal is job readiness, we might set steps like resume creation in two weeks and mock interviews over three sessions. Each goal aligns with the participant’s objectives and is reviewed regularly to stay relevant to their evolving needs.
Goal-oriented coaching sets specific, practical goals. For example, if the aim is improving social interactions, we might work on initiating two new conversations per week for a month. This structured approach provides clear progress markers and builds real-world confidence and skill.
We focus on skill-building and SMART goals for long-term independence. Unlike general support, our structured sessions might include completing a resume in two sessions or interview practice over four, with monthly progress assessments to ensure readiness for real-life situations.
We start small, with manageable steps—like practicing greetings over a few sessions—building confidence gradually. By focusing on achievable tasks, we create a supportive environment. As confidence grows, we introduce more complex tasks with a clear timeline.
With permission, we coordinate with your family and support team to align everyone with your goals. We set specific, measurable targets (e.g., ‘practicing social skills twice a week’) and provide updates, making sure everyone supports your progress.
We use SMART goals to maintain motivation, with milestones like completing a cover letter in one session or practicing social interactions three times before our next meeting. Each milestone is relevant, measurable, and celebrated, helping you see progress.
Sessions are typically weekly, though frequency and duration can adjust to your needs (e.g., 30 minutes up to 1-hour 30min). Between sessions, I might suggest tasks like practicing an interview question or completing part of an application to maintain momentum and prepare for our next meeting. We can coordinate this with existing supports and ensure ongoing communication via phone or socials.
