I am an Occupational Therapist working in an rehabilitation
center.  We are trying to start a Community Living Skills program,
and would like to include as much realistic information as
possible.  My question to you all is: what should you have known
before you left the rehab center to return home?  What would have
helped you in your transition?  Do you feel that this info would
have been of value while you were preparing to leave the Center, or
do you think that you would have had to learn it yourself once you
were out?  I quess that's enough for starters.  I would really
appreciate everyone's input - it'll help us set up a better
program.  Thanks alot.
