Functional living skills covers a broad range of skills that we develop over child and adulthood. It includes being able to be independent as possible within your home, community and workplace. In this talk, Alison Hopwood will talk about helping children and adults understand functional living skills concepts and how to apply a social cognition model in teaching these skills. It will discuss how to use the Independent Me resources in building skills and then take these skills into real life situations.

This talk is suited to parents, carers, teachers and therapists.
