At Independent Living in Sutherlin, OR, we empower individuals with high-functioning autism through our thoughtfully designed residential program. Our focus is on fostering independence in a supportive environment, where participants live in specially-equipped smart homes, complete with assistive technology tailored to their needs. We provide personalized support services and skill-building training that covers essential life skills such as meal planning, cooking, budgeting, and cleaning. By promoting socialization with roommates and staff, and offering anxiety assistance along with partnered counseling, we create a nurturing community aimed at enhancing autonomy. Participants can choose to reside in one of our pre-screened, affordable homes or their own, with opportunities to progress to units that further encourage greater independence as their skills develop.
