Dawn helps her individual in so many ways! She is teaching him how to be more independent by going to the bank and learning how to fill out a check book. They work on looking up different recipes to learn how to cook them. Another skill Dawn works on with him is safety by assisting him on how not to answer any phone numbers that he does not know and not to give information out. Dawn, thank you for being such a great DSP!
