Our Independent Living Services Program:
In this program, we serve adults with developmental disabilities at their homes and in the community to help increase or maintain their independence. DSPs travel to meet 1-3 individuals per day and provide one-on-one skills training based on their individual goals.
As a Mentor, you will be responsible for:
Assisting participants in their homes with tasks such as budgeting, meal planning, hygiene practices, and activities of daily living (ADLs).
Providing opportunities for the participant to develop socialization/interpersonal communication skills and practice self-regulation/coping techniques.
Providing hands-on training, observation, and evaluation of the participant's household tasks and assisting with further development.
Advocating for participants' inclusion in the community and empowering them to exercise their rights.
Use BuildAbility’s digital program to log the individual’s progress and performance.
