Life Skills at LOGOS

We strive to prepare our students to be successful inside the classroom and beyond. The life skills our students learn and use during their time at LOGOS are identified through the conversations they have with their therapist during individual therapy sessions and then practiced during both group therapy sessions with peers and in the classrooms with their teachers. Therapists and teachers collaborate to understand the skills each student is working on and how students can best be supported when they are at LOGOS.

Some of the behavior-related life skills students focus on include:

  • Self-Advocacy
  • Peer-to-Peer Communication
  • Mindfulness
  • Flexibility
  • Acceptance
  • Awareness
  • Tolerance
  • Resilience
  • Conflict Mediation
  • Anger Management
  • Time Management
  • Building Social Skills

Some of the independent-living life skills students focus on include:

  • Money Management
  • Using Mass Transportation
  • Home Maintenance
  • Exploring Career Interests
  • Personal Healthcare
