Grant Announcements

Exciting news! The Safeway Foundation has awarded Barrier-Free a $2000 grant to support the expansion of our Cooking Skills projects for neurodivergent adults at The Life Skills & Social Studio.

Please help us show our appreciation by visiting your neighborhood store and telling employees how much you appreciate their support!

Individualized Skill Coaching

Barrier-Free Individualized Skill Coaching program supports neurodivergent adults in achieving their independence, employment, or social goals.

Highly-skilled coaches work with participants and families to develop an individualized goal plan for maximized support. Skill coaching is typically a combination of in-home and community-based work.

Arrangements can vary in length and frequency, with a typical plan ranging from 3 - 20 hours per week.

Skill Coaching services are paired with regular attendance at Barrier-Free programs to support relationship-building and whole-person development.
