Abstract
The Friendship House is an establishment where students without disabilities live with same aged individuals with intellectual disabilities. After years of this side-by-side living, a standardized assessment entitled the Transition Planning Inventory (TPI) was given to all stakeholders including roommates with and without disabilities and the parents of individuals with disabilities. Outcomes showed those adult living skills that were satisfactory as well as areas of needed improvement for those individuals with disabilities. Results gleaned from this research will help determine and identify critical transition planning areas for the individuals with intellectual disabilities whose goal is to live independently.
