Skill 3 – Household Management
The right household management can help keep your home clean, safe, and organized. It can also give you a sense of self-confidence and independence. The basics of household organization can help people with disabilities live successful lives.
There are several resources available for those who need help developing these skills. By breaking down the task into smaller pieces, you can make it easier to manage. Visual cues are also helpful in reminding people how to do things like cleaning or doing laundry. These tools can be used to overcome physical or cognitive challenges. Support from family, friends, professionals and disability services groups can be invaluable in learning new skills relating to household management.
These strategies combined can give adults with disabilities the confidence they need to approach everyday tasks independently and successfully manage their home environment–something everyone deserves access to!
