Mater Dei Living Skills Program

Welcome to the Mater Dei Living Skills Program. The mission of this Program is to provide individualised living skills programs for students, in partnership with their families and school, in order to prepare them for independent and interdependent living in the community of their choice.

Each student's strengths and needs are indentified and prioritised by the student, the family, school staff and Living Skills Program staff, through the Individual Plan (IP) and the Individual Transition Plan (ITP) processes on a regular basis.

Student programs are monitored by the Living Skills Program workers and student priority goals are identified in the following areas:
  • participation
  • personal care
  • household tasks
  • recreation and leisure
  • communication and socialisation
