Independent Living Skills (ILS) assistance is a personalized service designed to help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) gain the skills and confidence needed to live independently. ILS support focuses on essential areas such as household management, budgeting, personal hygiene, meal preparation, and time management. Each plan is tailored to the individual’s unique strengths and goals, with hands-on training provided in both home and community settings.
Support also includes developing problem-solving and self-advocacy skills, offering emotional encouragement, and teaching alternative communication methods when needed. ILS staff are trained professionals who provide one-on-one guidance, maintain clear communication, and are skilled in using technology to document progress and remain connected. Qualifications include CPR/First Aid certification, a high school diploma or equivalent, background clearance, and an understanding of the specific needs of individuals with IDD. Through compassionate, consistent support, ILS services empower individuals to lead more independent, fulfilling lives while reaching their personal milestones.
