Clients who live in Eureka meet peers and staff at various community locations in Eureka. Clients who live in Arcata or McKinleyville meet their peers and staff in their respective towns. These s= mall groups then make their own plans for activities for the day, wherever they = want to go.

Functional Ski= lls Training teaches skills that have a purpose in life. For example, if a person doesn’t learn where and how to shop for clothes, will someone else ha= ve to buy their clothes for them?

Functional ski= lls training is why we are a community based service. You cannot learn to buy s= ocks at K-Mart by “practicing” in a facility.

We use the Specific Natural Activity Program (SNAP) Curriculum extensively in our

day-to-day training activities. ( www.snapc= urriculum.org ).
