[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 116179, member: 3072"] We can only focus on one or two things at a time for life skills here. It really depends on where the mood is and as she' been kind of stable the last 3 wks or so, we've also seen progress in her showering. Instead of not getting clean, having greasy hair, and still stinking after her shower, she's been clean, smelling pretty and her hairs been much cleaner. If the mood holds, we'll be working on laundry..which is one we revisit a lot. She can make some of her own lunches...from a can, a sandwhich, or freezer meals...we'll be progressing to recipes and the school will be doing a litle of that as well...cooking, making change, reading sales flyers, checkbook keeping etc... We need to work with her on her housekeeping skills as well so I'm thinking I'll make up a list and prioritise them in what I think is important or maybe let her choose what she would like to work on first and number them. Maybe spend a week on each and just keep repeating the list when we get to the end of it. I agree that when the biggest issue is keeping the mood in check all day, it makes it hard to fit in any of the other things they need to be learning. [/QUOTE]
