Building Independence Together

CA Independent Living (Vendor No. HQ1884) provides person-centered Independent Living Skills (ILS) services for individuals with developmental disabilities across San Diego County.

Services are offered in English, Spanish, Farsi, and Tagalog.

We recognize that every person has unique goals, strengths, interests, and support needs. Independence looks different for each individual, which is why all services are fully individualized and designed to support personal goals, preferences, and desired outcomes.

Personalized Planning

Every client has different goals, strengths, and support needs, so we start by getting to know you.

During an in-home visit, we learn about your daily routines, strengths, interests, living situation, and the areas where you would like additional support. We also discuss your goals and the services that can best support them.

Based on those conversations, a Personal Support Plan (PSP) is developed around your goals, preferences, strengths, and authorized services. The PSP serves as a personalized roadmap that keeps services focused on what matters most to you.

 Individualized Support

Once the Personal Support Plan (PSP) is completed, services take place in the client’s home and community based on the goals identified during the planning process.

Services focus on building confidence, strengthening daily living skills, increasing community participation, and working toward greater independence through personalized coaching and practical skill development.

When appropriate and with the client’s consent, we communicate with family members and Regional Center Service Coordinators to help ensure everyone is informed and working toward the same goals.

Independent Living Skills Training

Communication Skills

Clients learn effective communication skills through guided role-play, real-life practice, and instruction on appropriate verbal and nonverbal communication.

Safety & Emergency Preparedness

Clients learn important safety skills, including what to do in case of fire or earthquake, how to recognize unsafe situations, and when to contact emergency services such as police, fire, or medical responders.

Social Skills

Clients are encouraged to participate in community activities, practice social interactions in real-life settings, and build meaningful friendships.

Money Management

Clients learn practical money management skills, including budgeting, tracking expenses, understanding income versus spending, and making responsible financial decisions.

Our Commitment 

Our mission is to provide personalized Independent Living Skills (ILS) services that help individuals build confidence, strengthen daily living skills, and increase independence within their homes and communities.

We believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and inclusion. By providing individualized support based on each client’s unique goals, strengths, and needs, we help individuals develop practical skills that support greater participation, self-confidence, and success in everyday life.


Our Person-Centered Approach

Every individual has unique goals, strengths, interests, and preferences. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all program, our coaches provide personalized support based on what is most important to each client.

We believe every individual should lead their own journey toward greater independence. Our role is to provide guidance, coaching, encouragement, and practical instruction while respecting each person’s choices and helping them build the skills needed for everyday life.

Training takes place in the homes and communities where clients live, work, shop, and participate in everyday life, allowing them to practice new skills where they are most meaningful.
