The goal of RSVP, Inc.’s Independent Living program is to assist individuals to minimize their reliance on others in their decision making and in their performance of everyday activities to the greatest extent possible. RSVP, Inc. understands that to achieve this goal, services must be consumer-directed and conducted in community-based, accessible settings that are meaningful to the consumer. Based on the synthesis of information obtained from the consumer’s individual support team and on the consumer’s individual style of learning, RSVP, Inc. will employ a variety of methods including education and skills training, assessment and instruction, development of task analyses, and the development and implementation of strategies and techniques that will allow the individual to learn and practice the skills and abilities that are necessary to achieve greater independence in their lives. RSVP, Inc. has a vendor agreement with the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) to provide Intake and Assessment, Functional Assessment, Independent Living Skills Training, Housing and Transportation Services (i.e., bus training), Technical Assistance, Individual Advocacy.
