What is Independent Living ? “Independent Living means living like everyone else having the right to make your own choices, to have control over your own life, to have the opportunity to make decisions, to take responsibility and to pursue activities of your own choosing.” Our Independent Living Programme is a FÁS-funded Introductory Skills Programme. It provides people with the opportunity to try out and develop various independent living skills in an accessible setting. We also explore work and vocational training options. Independent Living Training Programme Details This programme is approximately eighteen months long but the length of time depends very much on the individual and what they hope to achieve from the programme. Each learner will develop a Personal Training Plan to ensure the programme meets their needs.
