Life Skills Training
TESH's Pathways to Independence life skills training program began in 1991 providing Medicaid funded classes aimed at helping adults with developmental disabilities achieve their highest level of independence.
A variety of classes are offered including budgeting, safety skills, meal preparation, task completion, getting along with others, and more.
