Independent Living Centre
SKILLS FOR DAILY LIFE
Each day students undertake a range of daily living tasks relevant to their individual needs. This may include Toilet Training, brushing teeth, washing hands or more advanced skills such as managing clothing and laundry. These skills are highly individualised and will be incorporated into a child’s learning in collaboration with families.
The Independent Living Centre is more than just a learning space; it is a bridge to greater independence, equipping students with the practical skills they need to thrive in their everyday lives and future endeavors.
The new Independent Living Centre at our school is a transformative space designed to empower students with the skills and confidence needed for everyday life. The centre features a fully equipped kitchen, laundry area, bedroom, and living space, offering a real-world environment where students can practice and master essential daily tasks.
With adaptive tools and technologies tailored to individual needs, students learn cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and personal care skills in a supportive and accessible setting. The centre emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning, enabling students to develop independence at their own pace.
