This instructor-led course offers a more detailed examination of foundational concepts related to independent living, personal safety, and community participation. Through structured group instruction and guided discussion, participants explore budgeting concepts, housing options, time management, decision-making models, and how campus and community resources are coordinated and used within broader systems. Instruction emphasizes understanding how independent living systems, supports, and safety considerations function and interact, rather than practicing individualized daily living or safety skills.The curriculum is intentionally scaffolded to support ongoing learning and skill development. Foundational concepts are introduced first and reinforced through practice and discussion before more advanced topics are explored. Each term expands upon previously learned material while introducing new concepts, resources, and learning activities related to housing, finances, and independent living.
