Developing
Self-Sufficiency Skills in Youth in Transition
Youth
aging out of foster care need to develop life skills and acquire basic
information related to self-sufficiency to prepare for their adult lives.

Attention, Focus,
Remember
Memory,
attention and focusing skills are keys to long term learning. When
learning doesn’t work for students it is important for them to know how to
learn. Memory affects students’ ability to communicate, read, and carry
on conversations. This session is designed to develop memory skills,
to define three kinds of memory and how to use them effectively, to
explain brain function as it relates to memory, and to identify activities
to develop students' ability to remember. |
