Life Skills & Transitions

You’ll always know the plan for each session and how it links to your goals.

• One named coach with an introduced back-up for continuity

• Goal-led sessions with a clear “today we’ll do…” task list

• Learn by doing—practical coaching in real settings (home, shops, transport)

• Visual prompts & checklists you can keep on your phone or fridge

• Pace that suits you—short bursts with breaks when needed

• Plain-English notes after each session (what worked, what’s next)

Onboarding — your first 4 weeks

Week 1 — Welcome & strengths
A friendly chat about your goals, routines, sensory preferences and what feels hardest right now.

Week 2 — Plan & first skill
Choose one priority (e.g., cooking a simple dinner). Set up a micro-checklist and practise together.

Week 3 — Repeat & expand
Do it again with less help; add a second skill (e.g., laundry system or travel run).

Week 4 — Review & next steps
Tidy up the checklists, celebrate wins, and choose the next two skills to build.

Transitions we support

Change is easier with a map and a guide.

• Moving out or house-sharing: budgeting, shopping plan, chore roster, safety checks

• Starting study or work: morning routine, transport rehearsal, first-day plan

• Provider changes: ending services politely, setting up new supports smoothly

• Leaving school: tasters for courses, volunteering pathways, simple admin

Practical examples

• Kitchen starter: plan a meal, shop with a list, cook together, portion and label leftovers

• Money basics: set up a simple budget, pay one bill online, track spending for a week

• Travel loop: bus to the leisure centre, swim, café stop, bus home—repeat on the same day each week

• Digital set-up: create a tidy e-mail, calendar reminders, safe password system, essential apps

• Move-out pack: checklists for essentials, cleaning routine, rent/bills diary, emergency contacts

Quality & safeguarding

• Qualified, screened staff who coach with patience and respect

• Culturally aware support—language and faith needs considered; interpreters available

• Clear risk checks for activities in the home and community

• Consistency matters—predictable schedules and punctual sessions

• Joined-up care—with consent we coordinate with family, school, work or clinicians
