Best Practices – Provider

Practice
This adult day training provider implemented an opportunity for individuals to use “curriculum boxes” during ‘down time’ at the ADT. There are several boxes throughout the facility. These boxes contain activities that include worksheets and games related to money skills and cooking skills. The boxes also contain maps and information from around the world, worksheets to learning how to apply for a passport for a trip outside the country and many other interesting skills. The organization has also partnered with Suntrust bank to create a model ‘bank’ in their library where individuals learn how to open a savings/checking account.

Who Benefits? How?
All persons benefit. Individuals benefit by having interesting and productive information to learn from. Provider and staff benefit by assisting individuals to build on their interests and abilities which will lead to individuals having a sense of greater independence.
