Residential Supports • Facilitate the establishment of routines for self

care and getting up and to class on time.

• Orientation to laundry procedures and social rules related to this.

• Collaborate with the housing staff, especially the student’s RA, to create a physically and psychologically safe living experience.

• Morning and weekend “dorm checks” for a safety and a “healthy” environment.
