We teach them money management, budgeting skills, social skills, health management skills, apartment searching, job searching, in-home tasks such as cooking and cleaning, and much more (we do not do it for them) we support them by learning how to do it independently up to their capabilities and we support them with doing the remaining task as needed. I emphasize that we do “with" not do for. We are there to support guide and mentor.
