INCIL

Did you know? INCIL member centers are run by and for people with disabilities. At least 51% of staff and Board of Directors at every CIL are individuals with disabilities, ensuring our work is rooted in lived experience.

Knowledge is power. CILs provide the tools and information necessary for persons with disabilities to set and accomplish their personal goals, and for communities to become more accommodating. 📚

Worried about how a job might affect your disability benefits? CILs offer benefits counseling to help you understand how you can pursue a career while maintaining the support you need. 📈

Last year, Illinois CILs served over 70,000 citizens with disabilities! From finding housing to learning new skills, we celebrate every milestone of independence. 🎉

Navigating the jump from high school to college or the workforce? CILs offer transition support services to help young adults with disabilities plan their future and advocate for their own terms. 🎓

Communication access is vital. Many CILs have Deaf Service Coordinators who communicate in ASL and provide resources specifically for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. 🤟

With 22 centers serving all 102 counties in Illinois, there is a Center for Independent Living near you! Visit our website to find your local CIL and discover the free services available in your area.
