How We Can Help
Our IHCS services are customized to help individuals with disabilities develop the skills they need to live independently and actively participate in their communities.
Essential Life Skills
We help individuals build independence by learning and maintaining crucial skills, such as:
​
-
Household management, including meal preparation, cleaning, and managing chores
-
Budgeting and managing finances effectively
-
Scheduling appointments and managing health concerns
Personal Care
Encouraging self-care helps foster confidence and independence. We assist with skills like:
​
-
Personal hygiene, including grooming, oral hygiene, and shaving
-
Dressing and clothing care
-
Medication reminders to ensure proper health management
Community Integration
Building meaningful connections is at the core of our services. We provide support for:
​
-
Finding support groups and preparing for job interviews
-
Assisting with job opportunities and workplace readiness
-
Strengthening social skills and navigating public spaces with confidence
Empowerment
The ability to complete tasks independently increases self-worth and confidence.
Improved Well-Being
With independence comes a sense of accomplishment, reducing feelings of helplessness.
New Opportunities
Mastering daily tasks opens doors to employment, socializing, and semi-independent living.
How We Help Develop Essential Life Skills
Our services cater to the learning styles and needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities or autism.
Structured Learning
By breaking tasks into simple, manageable steps, we make challenging skills accessible. For example, we might teach making a meal step by step, starting with basic skills like spreading butter before moving to more complex tasks.
Regular Repetition
Repetition and consistency are vital parts of our approach. Practicing the same task regularly helps cement skills, making it easier for individuals to execute them independently.
Real-World Experience
We encourage our clients to practice life skills in real-world settings, such as shopping at a local store, navigating public transit, or working in a team environment. These experiences ensure that the skills taught in our programs transfer seamlessly to everyday life.
Strong Community Support
Our programs are built around creating a sense of belonging and community integration. From support groups to workplace assistance, we aim to foster opportunities for social engagement.
