Key Points

• This research aims to empirically derive policy priorities and improvement directions for independent living among individuals with developmental disabilities.
• Utilized importance-performance analysis to assess nine policy areas for independent living.
• Survey conducted with 120 adults with developmental disabilities using easy-read materials and visual aids.
• Data analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, Pearson correlation analysis, and IPA.
• Identified that preparation for the future, caregiving, and lifelong education have low performance relative to their importance, requiring immediate policy intervention.
• Preparation for the future was determined to be the most critical area needing attention.
• Housing, employment, and income security showed stable performance, but qualitative improvements are essential.
