Independent Living Skills Specialist
Despite the title, an Independent Living Specialist at SJCI is really a generalist who supports people with disabilities toward the independent lifestyle of their choice. What an ILS does:
- Teach by example and role model
- Refer to current community resources
- Emotional support – from adaptive recreation to personal crisis
- Skill enhancement in self advocacy for:
- assistive technology
- accessible housing
- transportation
- daily living skills
- developing and maintaining independence
