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 include, but are not limited to:
Using a smartphone and navigating accessibility features (either built-in or apps we recommend)
Disability benefits
Self-advocacy
Emergency preparedness
One-on-one braille lessons
