Independent Living Preparation Guide

Independent Living Preparation Guide

For those of our potential residents who have an intellectual or developmental disability, or who may have not lived on their own before, this preparation guide is meant to assist some potential residents and their families in determining the readiness of persons desiring life in an independent setting. This checklist is NOT an eligibility assessment.  Divided into categories, it is provided to help potential residents understand their strengths, areas for improvement and what they can do at their current residence to engage in skill acquisition.  Learning independent living skills is an ongoing, life-long process.
