Independent Living Skills
|
-
Person First AFH is extremely proud to offer specialized services 24 hours per day to meet the unique needs
of our residents. We encourage each resident to reach their maximum potential for personal growth and independence.
-
Using principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we will work one on one with your loved one to create
a custom made program to maintain and increase functional and independent daily living skills.
-
Each resident has specific goals and objectives, much like an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), contained
in our Negotiated Care Plan, to promote success. You will be happy to see that your loved one continues to gain new
skills and maintain all that he or she has previously learned!
-
Functional behavioral assessment, analysis, and treatment is also available for remediation of aberrant or
challenging behaviors, when necessary; appropriate behaviors may replace the inappropriate behaviors, promoting independence
and social success.
