Learning and practicing independent living skills is an important step to prepare BORO

students for their transition to adulthood. The vision a student might have for their future

includes someday living in their own apartment, being in charge of their own health care,

or managing their own finances.

Sometimes, though, it's the little day to day tasks that can be overlooked while working

toward the big dream. In the last couple of weeks, our students have been practicing

such skills as... how to change a lightbulb! By gaining the skills and confidence to complete

these little tasks that are often taken for granted, students make important progress along

their path toward living independently!
