Habilitation

Habilitation is like learning new skills that you need in order to be an adult. Do you know how to tie your shoes or ride a bike? These are skills that you had to learn as a child, but as you grow older, you will need to learn more skills to be able to do things on your own.

For some people, they need extra help to learn these skills because they have disabilities or difficulties with their bodies or minds. Habilitation is a way to help these people learn the skills they need to be more independent and successful in their lives.

Imagine if you couldn't do things that most other kids your age can do, like getting dressed or using a fork and knife. Habilitation can help you learn how to do these things by showing you how to move your body in a different way or by using special tools or equipment to assist you.

Habilitation can also help you learn how to communicate with others if you have trouble with speaking or understanding what others are saying. This may involve learning sign language, using a device to speak for you, or practicing social skills like sharing and taking turns.

Overall, habilitation is a way to help people with disabilities or difficulties learn new skills so they can be more independent and feel more confident in their ability to do things on their own.
