In independent living how is it? Is it like a group home where everyone is together or is it like you live in your own individual house on the programs property. What is it like? Because i'm about to be sent there and i don't want to be around a whole bunch of females under one roof its nerve racking to me. So i mean is there any helpful hints or websites i can check out that will tell me about this program and how it is?

Being independent is a requirement that most of us have to grasp, don't be nervous about testing the waters, the only way to find out is to dip your big toe first, take small steps and evaluate each move you make, don't disturb your neighbour and treat others the way you want them to treat you. I am somewhat confused about all the females you refer to but we can't do much without them.

I think you are in foster care and are referring to independent living where they help you learn to live on your own. Your best bet is to ask your caseworker and see what type they have you in. The only one that I had seen was a apartment type one, but you did have a roommate. Due to your wording, grammar, and ability to form questions, I can't see you being a handicapped person. Unless it is a physical one. If that is so, you should have a coordinator to help you answer any questions that you have. Good luck.

It's definition involves people with disabilities living as independently as possible. I suppose that there would be as many ways of implementing that as there are people with various disabilities. I don't believe that there is any one definitive answer to your question.

they are usually single apartments that have help for you and a common dining room
