The Daily Life Activities section is meant to included
the things that people do on a daily basis. Daily
Life Activities has been chosen as the title recognizing
not all persons choose to work, go to school, volunteer,
be involved in the community, sing, cook . . . .
however most people are involved in something hopefully
of their choosing.
This category is broad by design as it is hoped
that the reader may see something that will lead
to a new opportunity, a different activity that
the individual may then choose as one of or their
only Daily Life Activity. Although some of the activities
listed are segregated it is by no means the intention
to discourage community inclusion and participation;
rather to give as many options as possible which
provide opportunities for life enrichment, and that
may act as stepping stones to inclusion.
Many of the specific categories, i.e. art, horticulture,
sensory, music, drama, recreation . . . are
recognized as therapies for their therapeutic benefits.
In rehabilitation environments trained therapist
develop therapeutic programs using these mediums.
