Effective Living Choices Program
Effective Living Choices is an independent living skills program tailored specifically for the individual. While focusing on his/her immediate needs, the program also addresses long-term goals and desires, equipping the individual with the resources necessary to live, work and make the important decisions that affect one's life.
Independent living is often defined in terms of living on one's own, being employed in a job fitting one's capabilities, and having an active social life. But Effective Living is a matter of self-determination, of being open to the opportunity and freedom to pursue a course of action, and likewise, the freedom to fail and learn from one's mistakes. Effective Living is essentially a matter of Choice.
