Independent Activities of Daily Living Program (IADL)

At the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, our IADL Program teaches essential life skills such as personal hygiene, dressing, meal preparation, money management, and more to teens and young adults who require additional support.

These skills enable participants to manage daily routines and activities independently in preparation for life after high school.

Key Components

Personalized Instruction

Each class is capped at six participants for more personalized instruction tailored to each person’s individual abilities and progress.

Hands-On Learning

The program emphasizes practical, hands-on experiences in a controlled environment, allowing participants to practice and master daily living skills.

Goal-Oriented Approach

We set measurable goals for each participant, focusing on incremental progress that builds confidence and independence over time.

Benefits of the IADL Program

Increased Independence

Participants gain the skills needed to perform daily tasks with greater autonomy, leading to increased self-reliance and confidence.

Improved Quality of Life

Mastering daily living skills can significantly enhance the overall well-being and quality of life for participants.

Community Integration

By developing these skills, participants are better equipped to engage in social and community activities, fostering a sense of belonging and inclusion.
