The primary focus of pre-independent living assessments is on life skills readiness. This type of assessment is designed to evaluate how well an individual is prepared to live independently, which includes their ability to manage daily tasks, make decisions, and navigate the responsibilities that come with living on their own. Essential life skills may encompass budgeting, cooking, personal hygiene, time management, and problem-solving.

While academic readiness, emotional stability, and physical health can be important aspects of an individual’s overall well-being and might influence their ability to live independently, life skills readiness specifically addresses the practical competencies needed for successful independent living. Therefore, assessing life skills is crucial in preparing individuals for the transition to independence, ensuring they have the necessary tools to thrive in a self-sufficient environment.
