Independent Living Skills Training Services (ILST) are individually designed to improve or maintain the ability of the waiver participant to live as independently as possible in the community. ILST assists in recovering skills that have decreased as a result of onset of disability. Also, ILST will primarily be targeted to those individuals with progressive illnesses to maintain essential skills. ILST may be provided in the waiver participant's home and in the community. This service will primarily be provided on an individual basis.

Responsibilities:
The ILST staff conducts a comprehensive functional assessment of the waiver participant, identifying the participant's strengths and weaknesses in performing ADL and IADL related to his/her established goals.

The ILST staff uses the results of the assessment to develop an ILST Detailed Plan. The Detailed Plan will identify milestones to be met during the six (6) month period. The assessment must also include a determination of the participant's best manner of learning new skills and responses to various interventions. This comprehensive and functional assessment must be conducted at least annually from the date of the last assessment.

The ILST staff provides assessment, training, and supervision of an individual with self-care, medication management, task completion, communication skills, interpersonal skills, socialization, sensory/motor skills, mobility, and community transportation skills, reduction/elimination of maladaptive behaviors, problem solving skills, money management, pre-vocational skills and skills to maintain a household.
ILST services must be provided in the environment and situation that will result in the greatest positive outcome for the waiver participant. It is expected that this service will be provided in the waiver participant's environment.

The ILST staff assists a participant in returning to, or expanding the waiver participant's involvement in meaningful activities, such as paid or unpaid (volunteer) employment. The use of ILST for vocational purposes must occur only after it is clear that the waiver participant is not eligible for these services through either the Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID) or the Commission for the Blind and Visually Handicapped (CBVH); that VESID and CBVH services have been exhausted; or the activity is not covered by VESID or CBVH services.
The ILST staff will train the waiver participant's informal/natural supports, paid staff and waiver providers to provide the type and level of supports that allows the waiver participant to act and become as independent as possible in ADLs and IADLs.

Qualifications:
An individual with a Bachelor's degree and three (3) years of experience completing functionally based assessments, developing a comprehensive treatment plan and teaching individuals with disabilities and/or seniors to be more functionally independent; OR
