What Is Independent Living Skills (ILS)?
Independent Living Skills (ILS) is a non-medical, skill-building service that focuses on teaching and strengthening everyday abilities required for independent living. This service is ideal for individuals who want to gain more control over their daily lives and improve their ability to function independently at home and in the community.
