At Kerry’s Place, we strive to increase accessibility and inclusivity in all of our services. As providing education is a vital component of our care, we have created a resource bank of illustrated social scripts that can be used by families, substitute decision makers, Kerry’s Place staff, and the general public.
The purpose of these scripts is to help explain various day-to-day topics to the community we support; ensuring they both address the needs of individuals residing in our Supported Living homes, as well as provide access to pertinent information related to each service.
Topics are grouped under the categories of ‘Health and Wellness’, ‘Living at Kerry’s Place’, ‘Out in the Community’, and ‘Policy’.
