Independent Lifestyles Inc is a Limited Use Vendor for the Employment First Development “Find” phase. Case managers should work with their region’s Vocational Rehabilitation partner to submit a referral for this phase if appropriate.
Our Independent Living Specialist and Designated Coordinator will work with the individual served to create a plan that focuses on the person’s wants under the following categories:
Services that help a person gain a better understanding of competitive, integrated employment opportunities in their community. Exploration activities and experiences strengthen a person’s knowledge, interests and preferences so they can make informed decisions about competitive employment.
Individualized services designed to help a person achieve competitive, integrated employment, become self-employed or establish a microenterprise business in their community.
Individualized services and supports that help people maintain paid employment in community businesses/settings. Employment support services occur in integrated community settings.
