The WHEEL OF INDEPENDENCE Framework

  

The WHEEL OF INDEPENDENCE™ Framework is an online tool used to track progress and measure outcomes for independence and functional life skills. 

It is most suitable for use with teenagers (aged 14+) and young adults who have the potential to live an independent or semi-independent life.

It is based on eight comprehensive life skill areas related to participation in activities of daily living at home, college/school and in the community.  

Independence skills are a real strength at this school.

Ofsted care report, 2020

Each of the eight areas are graded in order for the students to commence and develop alongside the hierarchy of skills based upon their individual level of need. Each skill area has been split into five levels. 

How it works

Level one comprises of the foundation skills required to progress in each area. Every level gets progressively harder and the tasks involved more advanced.

Our online tool allows you to:

  • Have individual profiles for each student
  • Follow a skill hierarchy to assist student to progress with their independence
  • Track student progress in each area with current and past comments
  • Produce a visual graph (see example image) and score to demonstrate progress across each year
  • Produce target sheets to share with parents and other professionals
  • Produce reports to demonstrate progress across cohorts
