How to Apply to Independence Center

The applicant and his or her family are invited to come to Independence Center for an intake interview with the director. They will receive information about the program, tour the facilities and be asked questions about themselves, separately and as a family. 

Based on information received during the interview and written reports
received from others who have worked with the applicant, a 3-day orientation visit may be scheduled, during which the young adult sleeps over for two nights and spends three days involved in program activities. 

The visit enables the staff to assess the applicant's skills and allows him or her to get a sense of the program. Those who are considered appropriate - and who want to participate - are accepted into the program. 

Fees 
A schedule of fees will be provided upon request. Scholarships and financial aid are available.
