Personal Skills Assessment @ Open Sky Co-op

The Open Sky Functional Skills Assessment process involves working with an accredited Speech-Language Pathologist to review an individual’s life experiences, prior assessments and academic reports to date, carry out a structured assessment of real-life skills, complete a communications skills assessment, and then compile all the information into one comprehensive report. Recommendations for the best way forward (focused skills-building, mobilizing interests, utilizing best practices) makes this a practical document for use by Open Sky to design an individualized program, and-or for families to use as they pursue other resources too. All Open Sky participants are assessed for skills before their programs are designed, to ensure appropriateness of approaches and optimum impact.
