The adults of Latham are supported in many ways through every aspect of their life. Recently, one individual was asked to speak at the end of the year celebration for his day program. The following is a piece of the individual’s speech.
“The program I participate in is the Life Skills program. What I like most about this program is its uniqueness from other day programs. I get to choose what activities I want to be in and if there is an activity that I don’t like I have an opportunity to switch that particular activity into something that I do like.
I come to Life Skills four days a week and participate in a variety of activities including gym, bowling, walking, art, and finally, Newsletter which is really fun because I get to choose the article of my choice and write about that topic. Some of the topics I’ve done are the history of Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and finally, Flag Day.
I feel that Life Skills is the right placement for me because while I’m there I learn the skills I need to become independent. I also go on fun field trips while I’m at Life Skills. Some of the trips I’ve gone on are: walking up the historical Provincetown Monument, pumpkin picking, tour of the Cape Cod Potato Chip factory, and finally the New England aquarium. There is one special field trip that annually takes place in the summer which I really enjoy. It is going to Pawtucket, Rhode Island to see the minor league team the Pawtucket Red Sox.”
