At the Fairfield Day Program, staff have been focusing on enhancing communication skills through structured morning and afternoon sessions. These sessions not only help our clients build confidence but also foster a sense of community and respect.
During morning communication, our staff engage clients in discussions about essential topics such as personal hygiene, personal space, respect, and the day’s programs. Each client then takes turns greeting their peers with a cheerful “Good morning, everyone!” and is encouraged to share anything they’d like.
In the afternoon, the focus shifts to reflecting on the day. Clients greet each other with a heartfelt “Good afternoon, everyone!” before sharing their experiences, achievements, or simply how their day went.
Recently, something truly magical happened during one of these sessions. Matthew, who is non-verbal, stood at the front and, to everyone’s surprise, confidently said, “Good afternoon, everyone!” It was a moment of pure joy and pride for everyone in the room.
This incredible milestone is a testament to the power of communication and the supportive environment fostered at our Fairfield Day Program.
We’re so proud of Matthew and all our clients who continue to achieve amazing things every day.
