Living & Learning
Living & Learning focuses on developing skills of independence in the home and workplace.
Living & Learning often includes sessions where DSL’s supported employment team teaches workplace skills. Lessons cover topics that include how to get a job, gain more responsibilities, increase task independence, and more.
Students benefit from small-group interaction, role-playing, videos, demonstrations, and class discussion. The hands-on portion of the sessions, members’ favorite part of the program, includes cooking classes for students to prepare and clean up healthy snacks and meals using kitchen utensils and appliances, or crafts and projects to spark creativity and expression. Communication is also a large portion of the sessions, in which members are encouraged to engage with each other, staff, and volunteers in team-building and social games.
Living & Learning meets
- Tuesday nights from 6 – 7 pm at the DSL Kentucky Campus
- Wednesdays from 6:30 – 7:30 at the Cardinal Ritter Birthplace Foundation in Indiana
