Easy Ways to Support ADLs at Home

Join us to learn easy ways to foster your child's independence. Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), are tasks performed by an individual on a daily basis that are essential to independent living. Children with special needs CAN develop these skills...and we as parents and caregivers can help. Learn more from our special guest April Tribe Giauque (https://www.apriltribegiauque.com/), fellow special needs mom, author, speaker, and former teacher.

Takeaways: Cooking, grocery shopping, and doing laundry together can be great ways to teach a variety of skills including problem solving, fine motor skills, compromise, money math skills, and more!
