Focus Forward works with participants on increasing competence in independent living skills. Clients practice skills such as:

​

• Kitchen and culinary learning

• Community interaction

• Transportation and travel skills

• Independent and collaborative problem solving

• Computer skills, including Internet safety

• Self-care, outdoor awareness, nutrition education, exercise

​

A weekly Baking Day is a chance for clients to practice kitchen skills by researching a recipe, shopping for the ingredients, and putting together the recipe. Cookies and other baked goods are available to take home for a small donation. 

​

Our staff work with each client on areas where they may need extra attention in order to build their range of skills.
