Independent living takes practice.

Learn4Independence is a 32-course, scaffolded curriculum developed for adults with autism that focuses on skills to promote independent living and employment. Unique curriculum elements accommodate various types of learning differences and incorporate universally designed instruction adaptable to your community and cultural needs.

Learn4Independence® Curriculum

Each course contains 16–17 modules and is designed with a similar structure presenting new material while assessing knowledge and mastery. A comprehensive collection of supplemental materials includes worksheets, projects, presentations, midterms and final exams. Courses vary in length; some progress across four semesters, starting with basic information and building to more advanced concepts to support employment and independent living.

Instructors benefit from spending less time creating content and more time in the classroom teaching dynamic, relevant subject material. Students seeking sustainable employment and a more self-sufficient, independent life can thrive with Learn4Independence.
