LIFE Program

The GainLearning division of the GAIN Contact Group has developed a very specialized program which will target young adult women with various learning disabilities between the ages of 16 and 26.

As with all of the special needs programs at GainLearning, the goal of LIFE (Living Independently Functioning Effectively) is to assess each young woman’s specific needs, develop an individualized program to target their specific needs, and monitor their progress using specialized assessment tools geared for each of the areas addressed in this program. The mission of the LIFE Program is: “empowering you to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together”.

Areas that the LIFE Program addresses:

  • Personal / Social Skills
  • Life Skills / Daily Living Skills
  • Problem Solving Skills
  • Communication Skills
  • Occupational Skills
  • Academic Skills

The LIFE Program is designed to:

  • Provide highly customized instruction to meet each student’s specific needs
  • Be a culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate program
  • Capitalize on student’s interests
  • Offer a predictable schedule
  • Actively engage students attention in highly structured activities
  • Provide regular reinforcement of behavior
