Life Skills Lab
Allows those with cognitive or physical impairments to safely practice life skills.
The Life Skills Lab replicates various environments, allowing patients to gain experience negotiating these settings.
The Lab helps the transition from hospital to home, allowing therapists and caregivers to assess our patients' ability to perform practical tasks, while improving their independence and safety.
