Getting on with life: a qualitative evaluation of an independent living skills education program for people with physical disabilities.

The Independent Living Movement seeks to promote independence for people living with disabilities by encouraging them to direct their own care. Programs exist that strive to teach individuals the necessary skills to live independently; however, these programs have not been widely researched. The purpose of this paper is to explore alumni perceptions of a long-duration, immersive, independent living program and its influence on community independent living.
