IHS Option
VIKO provides Individualized Supports services that promote Self-Determination and Self-Advocacy through Training and Education. We promote independence and community involvement by identifying and working on targeted goals. This service encourages a person to remain in his or her own living arrangement and/or obtain skills in preparation for a more independent setting.
Service Description: Individualized Home Supports (With Training) can be provided to individuals when support is needed in the form of teaching, coaching, reminders, guidance, assistance, and/or supervision to provide continued experience living in the community. IHS, with training, also prompts skill-building and instructional services to acquire, retain and improve the person’s experience living in the community.
