Our company Long Life Information
Our company Long Life Information works with a number of people to make their lives better as they suffer from an intellectual disability. As our mission states, we are determined to help and assist developmentally challenged people through the way of providing them with job training, job placement, case management and eventually a proper housing. Among our many members that have worked through our doors, we are fortunate to tell the story of an individual known by the name [PUT NAME HERE]. Like many others, he was of lost hope and the aspect of living a happy life was a thing of the past not to be seen again. However, through our many successful and effective programs such as the Day Hab program, the Community Habilitation program, the supported employment together with the respite program we were able to turn his life around.
The first step was to make sure that we were able to give his life meaning before embarking on anything else such as job training. Therefore, the respite program was a big help as it made sure that [PUT NAME HERE] was able to fully heal from the traumatic experience resulting from a failed marriage, divorce, losing his job among other things that made his life not worth living at the time (according to him). Thereafter, we began the process of job training as his intellectual disability made it difficult for him to form any coordination and there were rampant cases of memory loss. As such, there was a need for intense training so as to make the skills a part of his daily life so as to remove any doubt that he would be able to remember them. This process proved successful and this ensured that the process of supported employment was able to be completed. Lastly, we were able to help him secure housing as he had lost his previous accommodations to his wife and the other to mortgage loans which he was not able to keep up with the payments because of the lack of a job.
This success story was among the best we have received this year and we could not wait to share it with you.
