Independent Living Skills Trainer

Responsible for the assessment and the training of TBI waiver participants to ensure their self-sufficiency and independence. ILST must be provided in the environment and situation that will result in the most positive outcome for the participant. It is expected that this service will be provided in the real world, such as in the participant’s kitchen as opposed to an agency’s kitchen. If the participant is not eligible for VESID services or VESID does not provide the needed service ILST services may also assist a participant with “real world” paid or unpaid (volunteer) employment.
