Independent Living
Living with freedom to make your own choices
Planning for independent living means assisting students with disabilities in planning to navigate their community and live as independently as possible. Choices about where a young adult will live, play, learn, and work are unique and should be determined through age-appropriate transition assessments.
From their type of living environment and how they will get around to the basics of personal care and friendships, planning for independence is an essential part of transitioning to adulthood.
