Independent Living Skills
Independent Living Skills
Independent Living (IL) Skills are the actions and knowledge that enable a person to live on their own. Developing a sense of independence can empower people, provide confidence, and give purpose.
Our IL Team works with people to create a plan to help reach goals, increase independence, and be a part of the community.
Disability Connection offers a variety of training topics including using a smartphone, basics of an Individualized Education Plan, housing, disability benefits, self-advocacy, emergency preparedness, personal finance, recreation and health.
Independent Living Skills can include every day activities such as learning to drive, riding the bus, kitchen skills, and being prepared to work.
