This morning, our clients practiced important kitchen safety skills using the My Full Life curriculum—a program designed to build independence, life skills, and confidence through hands-on learning. 🌟

They strengthened reading skills with an informative PowerPoint, tested their knowledge by “spotting hazards” in a fun find-the-mistake game ✅, and finished by identifying the power sources on kitchen equipment we use every week. 🙌

We’re excited to keep building real-world skills together with My Full Life! 💪
