Independent Living Skills

Independent Living is the freedom to direct one's own life.  Each individual has the right to optimize their personal ability and fully integrate into the community.  ABIL assists motivated consumers in developing self-determined goals to gain greater independence.

ABIL offers three opportunities for Independent Living (IL) Skills training:

IL Skills Training  - is done either on a one-to-one basis or in group workshops where Peer Support is beneficial.

Self-Determination and Self-Advocacy - teaching people with developmental disabilities  skills to speak up so they can make more life choices and choose the direction of their own lives.
