Through SEM Social Club, its members participate in various social events within their natural environment. They learn and practice skills necessary to gain independence leading to self empowerment.
HOW WE DO IT
Experience + Independence = Empowerment
Monthly calendars are planned with events. These events include celebrating seasonal holidays and members' birthday anniversaries, participation in community events, and visits to theme parks and sporting events. SEM members are given opportunities to meet and make friends, socialize with their peers while participating in social events, outside their home environment. Through these activities SEM members are given opportunities to develop self-advocacy skills, self-determination skills, communication skills, and social skills. SEM Social Club provides opportunities that allow personal experience, which leads to independence then ultimately empowerment.
