Enrolment & introductions
Course aims & course content
The aims are:
To introduce a variety of life skills to learners with additional learning needs in order to enable them to consider:
Healthy living & a balanced diet
Facilities for support, leisure & volunteering in the community
Participating in group research & discussion on agreed topics
We met at the NHS venue in Hull & the group made their introductions to each other & to the tutor.
Students completed their own enrolment forms, with assistance where necessary.
Some of the topics we agreed to explore were:
Facilities such as doctors, dentists & sexual health advice.
Other support services.
Mencap & Mind.
Humber care.
Social services & the Personal Assistant services provided by Danny's Dream.
Avocet.
Adka.
Day centres such as George Ashton Centre, 5 senses, Myers Beck garden centre.
Places to visit, like:
Museums, The Deep, Art galleries.
Budgeting.
Personal care.
Pet care & help with vet fees.
We held a short quiz as an icebreaker exercise.
We conducted a survey to find out how well each individual could carry out tasks associated with life skills. This can be conducted again later in the course to assess whether improvements have been made or confidence has improved.
