Independent Living Skills

Direct Services and Case Management Support

Independent Living Skills (ILS)

is a program designed for adults to receive instructional and functional skills training to commence or maintain a sustainable and independent living environment for themselves and/or their families.

 

Clients will have a team of direct service professionals/caseworkers including a representative of the San Diego Regional Center to create an Individual Support Plan (ISP) to state/outline their individual goals and maintain record of individual progress. A direct service professional/caseworker is assigned to the client to meet on a weekly basis 1:1 to work on the life goals outlined for the client and record the progress consistently in order to present to the team on a quarterly basis for review and updating of the client’s individual support plan.
