EDHN Guide to Living Independently
Moving out of home for the first time can be exciting, but also challenging! This Guide to Independent Living has lots of information to help you:
● plan your move;
● look at different housing and support options; and
● making the move into your new home as smooth as possible.
The Guide is made up of three booklets that contain activities, tips and links to other resources to help you along your way.
This book is written so that family and friends (or a worker) can work through it with a person with a disability regardless of learning ability.
Getting Started – Thinking about Moving Out
Explore and have fun talking about different houses and ideas. The key is to listen.
The first booklet looks at some questions you should ask yourself before you move out of home. It provides activities and tips to help you talk with your family and friends about how you all feel about the move and to make decisions that are right for you.
Finding the Right Home
The second booklet looks at the different types of housing and support services that are available to help you live more independently. It includes mainstream and disability housing sectors and how to search and apply for different types of homes.
Moving Out
The third booklet has information, tips and tools to help you organise the move into your new home including preparing for moving day, making sure your new home is ready to move into and ongoing management of your new home.
