Making A Great First Impression
Personal Care
Welcome to Book 2 of Navigating Independence
Making A Great First Impression
Navigating Independence is a series of books for your young adult with a disability to find maximum independence at home or on their own.
Many young adults with a disability long to be just like their typical peers and siblings but often they need more time and more skill training before that becomes a possibility.
In Book 1 we began to practice Executive Function Skills which are necessary for almost every task.
In Book 2 we will explore the practical ways that we can make a good first impression by examining our appearance, correct behavior and how to communicate to bring about the result of a good first impression.
