Dear Diana: Diana's Guide to Independent Living For Adolescents and Young Adults With Different Learning Styles and Special Needs is a guide for living an independent and meaningful life from a young woman who attended a transitional program in Arizona. It's an outgrowth of a series of emails she sent to relatives and friends about her life and the skills she was learning in the program and was expanded into a helpful collection of advice and support on daily living skills.
