What is an example of a service provided by ODP that supports daily living skills?

Supported employment services, such as job coaching, are designed to assist individuals with intellectual disabilities in acquiring and maintaining employment. This support directly relates to daily living skills because securing a job not only fosters independence but also helps individuals practice various life skills required in the workplace, including communication, time management, and problem-solving.

The focus of these services is on building skills that enable a person to function effectively in their daily lives, particularly in a work environment. Engaging in employment not only assists in income generation but also enhances social interaction and community involvement, which are critical aspects of daily living for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

In contrast, services like group therapy sessions, access to recreational activities, and coordination of medical appointments contribute to overall well-being and support but do not directly target the acquisition of daily living skills in the same manner that job coaching does. These other options may play supportive roles, but they do not primarily focus on the core competencies needed for daily living and functioning within a community.
