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.

L&L Meets three Monday nights each month from 5 – 6 pm at the DSL Kentucky Campus.
It’s vacation time!! Time to have fun at the beach, by the pool, in the mountains, out camping, — you name it! While we are relaxing on the beach, by the pool, or making s’mores around a campfire, we tend to forget to be safe. It’s easy to forget to look at the beach flags that warn us the currents are too strong, or what to do if something catches on fire while we’re out in the middle of nowhere, or how to take care of ourselves when we start to overheat in the hot summer! This month will be all about our vacations/stay-cations and how we can take care of ourselves in the HOT HOT HOT heat!
