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.
YOU MUST RSVP FOR THIS CLASS AS THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY AVAILABLE SEATS
L&L Meets on Monday nights from 5 – 6 pm at the DSL Kentucky Campus.
January’s topic: New Year, New You! The phrase, “New Year, New you” is a phrase used to encourage people to embrace positive changes in their lives as they enter the new year. It suggests that the start of a new year is an opportunity. The phrase often implies setting new goals, making resolutions, or adopting healthier habits, such as exercising more, eating better, or learning new skills.
