The Independence Toolkit

Helping adults with IDD grow in confidence, safety, and daily living skills

Independence is not a single leap, it’s a series of small, steady steps. For adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), those steps might be heating up leftovers without help, folding laundry with little guidance, or remembering to bring along a wallet before heading out.

At Covenant Case Management Services, we believe independence looks different for everyone, and that’s something to celebrate. True independence doesn’t mean stepping away completely,it means coming alongside your loved one as they discover what they can do, building confidence with every small triumph.

That’s why we created The Independence Toolkit, a practical, compassionate resource to help parents and caregivers nurture everyday skills while keeping safety at the heart of the journey.
