What we do?

As an Independent Living Services (ILS) agency, we will provide individualized training and support to adults with developmental disabilities so they can become more independent at home and in their communities.

We will:

• Assess each client’s strengths, needs, preferences, and goals.
• Develop an individualized service plan based on the client’s IPP.
• Teach practical skills such as cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, budgeting, and personal care.
• Help clients understand benefits, complete paperwork, and manage appointments.
• Teach transportation, community safety, and how to access local resources.
• Support clients with housing searches and maintaining a safe home.
• Build communication, decision-making, self-advocacy, and problem-solving skills.
• Coordinate with families, service coordinators, and other providers—with the client’s permission.
• Track progress, document services, and adjust instruction as the client’s needs change.
• Encourage clients to practice skills independently and gradually reduce support when appropriate.

Our role is to teach, coach, model, and support—not to take over tasks that clients can learn to do themselves. The goal is to help each client exercise greater choice, confidence, and independence.
