Florida’s Independent Living Program requires that assessments to determine need, and services to address the determined needs, begin to be provided when you turn 13. This includes such things as educational and career planning, life skills services and a written plan for normalcy.

Independent Living Guidelines: Educational Planning (13+) Upon turning 13, you must choose an educational goal and a career path. The plan is to be developed with participation of you, your foster parents, and at least one of your teachers. The plan must be in writing, and included in each judicial review. If you change your mind about your goals the plan must be re-written.
Independent Living Guidelines - Normalcy (13+) Normalization or normalcy means that all foster children should be permitted to engage in age-appropriate life activities. There must be a written, and reviewed plan for normalcy.
