THE JOURNEY AHEAD
When the individual or the team members believe that the individual is ready for a much less restrictive program, the individual “graduates” to a higher learning facility or move on to the community. This may be evidenced by the individual’s meeting his/her goals on both major components: behavior modification and skills acquisition. This is an exciting moment for both individual and PADPro as it is the realization of the program’s objective to provide the individual with skills and coping techniques allowing him/her to move toward supported living and employment situations. The next step in the journey ahead is assimilation and community integration. After all, the actual measure of a successful effort in training is the application of learned adaptive behavior in a larger life setting. The individual must be prepared, armed with the ability to control maladaptive behavior and practice learned skills to continue the journey ahead.
