When parents think about their son or daughter making the transition to adulthood, postsecondary education and employment are often the first areas considered. It may be just as important, or more so, to give careful thought to the skills the young person will need to learn, work, and live as independently as possible.
Independent living also means finding appropriate housing, using transportation, managing money, participating in community living – including social and leisure activities – and more.
