Find the right answer and its source.

Start with the person’s goals and the Regional Center planning team. The Services page explains the models, and a short service-fit inquiry can identify the question without replacing eligibility, assessment, planning, or authorization.

ILS primarily teaches targeted independent-living skills through guided practice. SLS organizes individualized support for an adult living in a home they own, lease, or rent. Exact goals, hours, staffing, and supports depend on assessed need, planning, authorization, operational fit, and the person’s choices.

Regional Centers and planning teams apply the relevant legal, assessment, IPP, and authorization processes. RILC’s website cannot determine eligibility, approve funding, authorize hours, or guarantee a service start.

No. SLS supports an adult in a home the person owns, leases, or rents. RILC is not presented as the landlord, property owner, residential facility, or source of housing payment.

No. They do not provide jobs, job development, placement, job coaching, vocational assessment, worksite training or supervision, or employment retention. Supported Employment has separate providers, authorizations, and service codes. Any RILC involvement must remain within authorized non-vocational support or coordination boundaries.

The website does not promise staff transportation. Any transportation-related support depends on the service design, authorization, individual plan, staff role, driver and vehicle requirements, insurance, consent, safety, and operational approval.

No. ILS and SLS are non-medical services. Support may include authorized self-advocacy, reminders, organization, communication, observation, documentation, or transportation planning within role limits. Staff do not diagnose, prescribe, change treatment, or present the service as skilled nursing or clinical care.

Do not use the website or email as emergency channels. For an immediate emergency, call 911. Authorized SLS emergency preparation, backup planning, and assistance do not replace 911, EMS, crisis systems, emergency departments, or clinical care.

The submitting person’s own name and contact, role, service pathway, Regional Center, city or county, optional language preference, and a short general question are enough. Do not send the person receiving services’ name, UCI, SSN, date of birth, diagnosis, medication information, IPP, medical records, incident reports, identification, or files.

No. An inquiry does not confirm provider status, eligibility, authorization, coverage, capacity, staffing, placement, or a service start. Those facts require separate evidence and operational review.

No. RILC is independent. Official names and links help visitors reach primary information; they do not imply ownership, operation, recommendation, partnership, endorsement, accreditation, or verified vendor status.

The SLS Instructor application uses a guided, privacy-conscious workflow with PDF-only upload checks, restricted recruitment storage, and a unique application ID shown after confirmed receipt. General referral and contact messages remain limited to non-sensitive information and do not accept attachments.
