What does independent living mean to you?

In this course, you will learn the basics of what it means to live independently. You will explore making choices, using support, and building skills for everyday life. You will think about your strengths and support needs and take one step toward something that is meaningful for you.

Independent living does not mean you have to live alone or do everything yourself. Your goals and support needs are unique to you, and it’s okay if they look different from someone else’s.
