A Skill Trainer is someone who will help you learn a task you want to learn! Simple. You can learn how to bake an apple pie or learn how to ride the bus! You can work to gain independence by improving your reading or math skills, or work towards community inclusion and making healthy decisions in life! If you have specific goals you want to reach but need some help getting there, this is the program for you.
