Community Based Instruction (CBI)

Community-Based Instruction (CBI) is designed to help individuals develop practical skills in real-world settings, with the goal of better preparing students for the transition into adulthood. This approach blends task analysis, developed by the agency in collaboration with the support team, to create individualized learning methods tailored to each student’s unique needs.

In CBI, tasks are broken down into manageable steps, with repetition and gradual learning to ensure mastery. The program focuses on key areas such as:

• Educational development
• Employment readiness and soft skills
• Money management
• Community engagement and participation
• Safety awareness
   

Students work within a strong support system, enabling them to build confidence and competence in these critical life skills. Goals and strategies are customized based on the individual’s needs, ensuring the program provides the most beneficial and effective learning experience for each student.
