The Life Skills Coach does exactly that – coach adults on life skills.  We work with adults with developmental disabilities who live independently and wish to be more independent.  The Life Skills Coach (LSC) will assist the client with learning daily skills such as menu planning, grocery shopping and cooking, budgeting, cleaning, and using public transportation. The LSC will assist the consumer with medical and dental appointments. The LSC will assist the consumer with transportation when working on individual service plan objectives and services. These are a few examples of the type of work you will be doing.

One client uses an electric wheelchair and requires personal care assistance. They have an electronic lift system to transfer between chairs and the bed. Both individuals like a positive attitude in their homes.
