The Independent Living Skills program serves deaf adults who are developmentally delayed and require supervision in virtually all areas of their lives. The main focus in this day program is on vocational training, which enables members to develop basic work skills in collating, labeling, folding, and other bulk mailing tasks through participation in sheltered workshops.
Work is contracted for fees from which members are paid.
Members who participate in this program also enjoy social outings. Trips to the library, museums, bowling, and restaurants are highly popular activities. D.C. Center for Independent Living, sales, fees, gifts, and donations.
