Is there a task you want to learn to do on your own?
Check out Literacy IRL!
Literacy IRL (In Real Life) is free a program for adults with disabilities who want to be more independent in an area of life. In Literacy IRL, you and NCBC Program Manager Jillian Ober will work together on a personal learning goal that you set.
Here are some examples:
- Using email safely to communicate with family and friends
- Sorting and reading personal mail/email
- Putting together a weekly meal plan and grocery list
- Planning what to wear and listing steps to getting dressed each day
- Browsing and selecting a TV show or movie
- Reading and ordering from a menu
- Using Zoom for virtual meetings
- Learning/practicing common “sight words”
Literacy IRL goals are focused and person-centered.
To start, you (and a support person if needed) will talk with Jillian about what new skill(s) would make difference in your daily life. After you set your goal, you and Jillian will meet six (6) times for one (1) hour. The day, time, and location of your one-on-one coaching sessions will be decided together.
