After the evaluation process, the DRS counselor, evaluator and a case manager assigned to the student review the results. Based on the student's interests, strengths and abilities, a course of study is recommended. For some, maybe all they need is a little help adjusting to a loss of vision. Maybe they've never lived alone before and need to learn some basic skills. That's what our personal adjustment classes are all about.
Students learn how to prepare meals.
They may be as simple as a sandwich, or as elaborate as a casserole that takes several steps. They learn how to work in the kitchen safely, whether they're visually impaired, hard of hearing, or have other conditions that limit their activities. Preparing your own food is an important part of living independently. The teachers know just how much to expect from each student. Cleaning and personal grooming are also part of personal adjustment at Gentry.
