In-Home Skills Implementation
Turn your family's life-skills plan into a working system at home.
In-Home Skills Implementation builds on the planning and strategies developed through Family Training and puts those supports physically into place within your home.
We work within the actual environments where targeted skills happen — bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, entryways and other everyday spaces — to create systems that make routines easier to understand, access and practice.
This can include physically setting up visual schedules, organizing supplies, introducing adaptive tools, establishing prompting systems and creating customized materials for the specific skills your family is working toward.
Rather than leaving your family with recommendations to implement on your own, we help turn the plan into a practical, usable system.
What's Included
Implementation is customized around your family's targeted life skills and may include:
Custom visual schedules designed for specific routines and environments
Physical setup and placement of visual supports throughout the home
Custom skill toolkits with the materials needed to teach and practice each targeted routine
Personalized social stories for new routines, expectations or transitions
Checklists, sequencing supports and step-by-step routine guides
Recommendations and introduction of adaptive tools and household products
Organization systems that make supplies easier to locate, access and return independently
Environmental modifications that reduce unnecessary barriers within a routine
Prompting systems and caregiver guidance for using the new supports consistently
Hands-on introduction and practice of the system within the actual routine
Coordination with the family's existing life-skills plan and, when appropriate, strategies being used by educators, therapists and other members of the support team
Built for Your Home and Your Goals
There is no standard package of visual supports or tools that works for every family. The systems we introduce are selected and customized around the individual, the targeted skill, the physical environment and the family's existing routines.
A bathroom routine may require a waterproof visual schedule, organized hygiene supplies, adaptive containers and a custom checklist. A morning routine may need visual sequencing, designated clothing and backpack stations, environmental labels and a social story introducing the new system.
The goal is to build supports that make sense where the skill actually happens.
From Recommendation to Real-Life Practice
Families often know what they want to work on but still face the challenge of turning recommendations into something that works consistently at home.
In-Home Skills Implementation helps close that gap.
By the end of implementation, your family has more than a list of strategies. You'll have the visual supports, customized materials, physical systems and practical tools in place to begin practicing targeted life skills as part of everyday life.
As skills develop, Ongoing Family Support can be used to adjust supports, introduce new skills and evolve the system alongside your family.
