Adult education

Education of adult persons at our institute is a program that is among the newer care programs and has become a continuous process. Participants of this program are persons included in the occupational activity centre and some residents in the institutional care.

The purpose of this program is multi-faceted. Above all, with this program we want to keep old skills, develop new skills and enable meeting diverse interests and needs of our adult users.

Its main purpose is to maximize the development of social competence of an individual and engagement in the external social environment.

The education program is rich with a variety of content that can be divided into the following areas:

• The acquisition of knowledge and skills that are needed to maximize independent performance of basic activities of daily living,
• The acquisition of knowledge and academic values that increase autonomy,
• Learning communication skills,
• Learning the rules of courtesy,
• Learning and development of skills in performing their duties in caring for themselves,
• Health care,
• Taking part in cultural and artistic activities (music, dance, drama) and
• Recreational activities.

In adult education, classic school lessons are replaced with forms that are tailored to adults, such as courses, clubs, seminars, occasional workshops, tutoring, counselling, presentations and consultations.

The process of education is carried out and takes place in the Institute environment and in the normal social environment.
