Course: CEHS 011 | Essential Independent Living Skills 1

Through direct instruction and peer modeling, this course will help participants learn essential self-care (ADLs) and basic independent living skills (IADLs). ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) are fundamental self-care tasks like bathing hygiene, dental hygiene, grooming, healthy eating habits, and daily exercise or activity. IADLs (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living) are more complex tasks necessary for independent living, such as shopping, cooking, managing medications, housework, laundry, using public transportation, and managing basic finances.
