Be independent and enjoy life fully through EFL!
Self Help
It is critical for children to have the necessary skills needed to navigate everyday life. The Autism care centre has recently started a new program dedicated to life skills development, based on a scientific approach established in the ABA program known as Essential functional living – EFL. The purpose of this program shall be to ensure our children become independent.. There is strong evidence that shows that the Essential functional living skills are effective not just for mild cases but prove to be successful in working for moderate to severe levels, and improvements are noted in emotional, physical, or intellectual challenges.
In our Essential functional living skills programs we are focusing. skills extending into a wide range of areas like self-care/personal hygiene, domestic, community, pre-vocational, vocational recreational, social, and behavior. The acquisition of functional/daily living skills should be targeted at an early age and prolonged into adulthood through strategies, planning, and proper systematic assessment. At the heart of the EFL program we help children cultivate abilities such as practicing to wait and to accept no for an answer and gain awareness of health and safety protocols for self-care.
Children with a diagnosis need assisted practice and attention to learn primary life skills. So, the EFL program allows kids to learn and take care of their basic or self-related needs so that they can become independent individuals. Some EFL functional skills are related to the health and safety domain. Health-related events can be medical conditions (dental appointment, use of first aid, choosing dress according to weather, etc.) Safety-related circumstances i.e., avoiding dangerous places and objects, road safety, use of different products, discrimination between, use of seat belt, helmet, etc.
