People with disabilities receive individual consumer services as defined in their Independent Living Plan. Practicing the philosophy of consumer driven service delivery, individualized services are provided in the Agency office in Tampa, outreach office in Plant City as well as any other location necessary to meet the needs of the consumer.   Home visits are sometimes necessary due to the severity of the disability, lack of transportation, medical issues and inability of the consumer to come to the office because of barriers in the home, the community or to transportation.

Any individual with a disability living in Hillsborough County is eligible for the programs provided by Self Reliance. Self Reliance is an agency of last resort providing services free of charge.  Families and parents of children with disabilities may contact us a resource center as they seek to provide independence or support for individuals with disabilities.   Employers, businesses and schools alike may contact us regarding disability sensitivity trainings, accommodation inquiries, or specific information about services for persons with disabilities.  Rehabilitation and therapy facilities may contact us regarding individual or group training for Independent Living Skills.
