Functional Skills Therapy

Building Everyday Skills for Independence and Social Integration

Functional Skills Therapy is a structured, group-based training program designed for children and adolescents with disabilities. More formal than residential care, this therapy focuses on building the practical skills needed for independent living, self-care, and active participation in society.

Using a hands-on, interactive approach rooted in an educational model, participants learn to navigate real-life tasks and social situations with increasing confidence. Sessions are held in a supportive, structured environment and aim to strengthen essential abilities such as:

• Managing personal hygiene and daily routines

• Developing communication and social interaction skills

• Strengthening attention, planning, and decision-making

• Building confidence in public and community settings

What sets this service apart is its collaborative nature: therapy sessions actively involve not only the children and adolescents but also their personal assistants and parents. This ensures consistency and reinforcement of skills both during therapy and at home — creating a well-rounded support system for lasting impact.

The ultimate goal of Functional Skills Therapy is to enhance independence, improve quality of life, and lay a foundation for long-term inclusion and autonomy in everyday life.
