Providing training on independent living skills that enable individuals with disabilities to live independently is one of the core services of our program. An individualized program is developed with the individual to include such skills as cooking, cleaning, and budgeting. Individuals also receive training on how to access services within the community that benefit their ability to live independently. Assistance may include, but is not limited to, housing, transportation, financial programs, and finances. Most services are free, but there are some that require meeting economic need.
