Welcome!
This blog will chronicle the journey my son with Down syndrome and I have taken to create an independent life for him. We hope it will provide information that others who may be on a similar journey will find useful. The first few blog posts, labeled steps 1 – 4, describe how we secured an apartment and the necessary supports for my son, Dave, to live independently. Additional posts will describe other issues related to Dave’s independent living, such as how we overcame specific challenges, how he spends his free time, and how we manage differences between us related to how he keeps his apartment, as well as a variety “adventures in independent living.”
