Independent Living Skills Training (ILST): A breakdown

Experiencing any trauma can be challenging, especially when it affects the brain. Though it can feel isolating, a traumatic brain injury is not something we have to face alone. Independent Living Skills Training (ILST) is a Medicaid program specifically designed for those who have experienced a traumatic or acquired brain injury to learn the skills necessary to live safely and independently. ILST assists in recovering skills that have decreased as a result of onset of disability. It is geared towards individuals with progressive illnesses to help them maintain essential skills.
