What is independent living? Essentially, it is living just like everyone else-having opportunities to make decisions that affect your life, pursue activities of your own choosing-limited only in the same ways that your non-disabled neighbors are limited. Independent living is having the right and the opportunity make choices and decisions about your life. And, it is having the freedom to fail -and to learn from your failures, just as people without disabilities do. Independent living means having every opportunity to be as self sufficient as possible. Independent living. It isn't easy, and it can be risky. But millions of people with disabilities rate it higher than a life of dependency, narrow opportunities and unfulfilled expectations.
