Rehabilitation Teaching & Independent Living (RT/IL) Services help people who are blind, vision impaired, or deafblind learn skills to live more independently. Trained staff visit individuals in their homes to talk about services and support that can help with reading and writing, using a computer, and taking care of everyday tasks. They also teach skills for personal care, socializing, getting around safely, and enjoying hobbies and other activities. The goal is to help each person gain confidence and independence in their daily life.

The Independent Living Coordinators employed by the Center are individuals with disabilities who share similar life experiences to those coming into the Center and are able to share their experience in a manner that will assist those coping with the effects of disability in their lives. Participants are expected to develop a plan to achieve maximum independence and set goals toward accomplishing that independence. Through counseling, participants learn about the needs and resources required for meeting their individual independent living goals. Counselors assist, but do not set, the individual to set achievable goals that best fit their own level of aspiration within reasonable time-frames. Peer counseling can be provided individually or in a group setting.
