Life Skills Therapy Center

Did you know that the popular children’s show, Sesame Street, has a character who has Autism? Yes, her name is Julia.

Julia has Autism, goes to school and has friends. Just like any other child, she sometimes struggles with some everyday tasks. But what the show emphasizes is, there are different ways to play, to connect, and to make friends.

More importantly, there are lots of ways to be kind and to participate. Friends help each other, with or without Autism.

The website has many resources for persons with autism and their families.

Congratulations to Maia and Shayne for graduating from Senior High School (and with awards to boot!)

We are happy for and proud of both of you and your families and everyone who supported you through this journey!

We wish you all the best with your future endeavors.

Thankful on a Monday!

Our students just finished their Achievement Tests! Our Kindergarten and 6th grade students will soon be participating in the Moving Up and Recognition Ceremony.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

As part of our policy and advocacy on disaster preparedness and response, Life Skills Therapy Center conducted its annual Fire Safety Awareness and Prevention as well as Earthquake Preparedness Activity. These were conducted in partnership with LSTC’s ever-reliable community partner, the Tarlac Filipino-Chinese Volunteers Fire Brigade.

Our students, staff, and families enjoyed not just the lecture, but more importantly, the actual experience of practicing fire prevention and response and earthquake response. We cannot overemphasize the importance of regularly engaging in these activities to ensure that we and our families prevent and are ready for disasters.

We’re excited!

Our annual Fire Safety and Prevention and Earthquake Preparedness Activities, in collaboration with the Tarlac Filipino-Chinese Volunteers Fire Brigade, are underway!

Life Skills Therapy Center joins the nation in celebrating Women’s Month. We strongly advocate for protection and justice for all women.

Knowing the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and stroke may mean the difference between life or death for you or for a loved one. Make sure everyone in the family is familiar with these signs and symptoms and know what to do when they see these signs and symptoms.
