Core Services

Transition

There are three components to LIFE’s transition services: (1) to facilitate the transition of individuals with significant disabilities from nursing homes and other institutions to home and community-based residences, with the requisite supports and services; (2) to provide assistance to individuals with significant disabilities who are at risk of entering institutions so that the individuals may remain in the community; and (3) to facilitate the transition of youth who are individuals with significant disabilities, who were eligible for individualized education programs under section 614(d) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and who have completed their secondary education or otherwise left school, to postsecondary life.

Peer Support

Peer Supporters are people with disabilities who share similar experiences with others with disabilities. Trained peer supporters assist in bringing about change by sharing experiences in a broad array of situations. They do not, however, provide professional, medical, financial or legal advice.

Information and Referral

Our goal is to be the southeast region’s disability resource center. We offer a wide range of information on issues of relevance to people with disabilities. Topics include Independent Living issues, disability rights, legislation on local, state and federal levels and services available from other organizations.

Independent Living Skills Training

Independent Living Skills Training involves teaching skills needed for an individual to become independent and to live and function more fully in their community. Past topics have included: rights and advocacy, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Fair Housing Act, budget planning, nutrition, crime/fire prevention, recreation, assistive technology, personal assistant management, self-esteem, adjustment to disability, relationships, sexuality and wellness. We provide both group and individualized training.
