FAST aims to improve independence and quality of life by targeting six areas of everyday functioning, which include: medication management, social and communication skills, organization and planning, transportation, and financial management. FAST utilizes a group setting with discussions around applying exercises to real-world settings, in-session practice, and homework assignments.
