Cody's Independent Juice Preparation Achievement
Cody has made wonderful progress lately in his independent living skills. Recently, he prepared orange juice from a frozen concentrate can without any help from his caregivers. Cody followed the preparation instructions perfectly. He kept the kitchen workspace and utensils clean throughout the process. Cody was so happy with his successful orange juice preparation that he called himself "Juice Man." Then he served the finished orange juice product to his roommate.
Building Self-Esteem Through Independent Living Skills
Cody's success making juice independently boosted his self-esteem. This achievement gave him more confidence in his ongoing journey to independence through developmental disability services.
Great job, Cody!
