Position Papers and Policy Initiatives

As part of our advocacy efforts to increase independent living services for people with disabilities, SILC of Illinois creates Position Papers on a wide range of topics. Yearly Policy Initiatives are also written to help clarify the agency’s stance on services and how best to utilize funding for those services.

  • Statement of Education and Policy Initiatives
  • Position on Center for Independent Living Base Funding
  • Position on Expansion of Centers for Independent Living
  • Position on Expansion of the Youth Advocate Program
  • Position Paper on Assistive Technology
  • Position Paper on Reintegration/Deinstitutionalization
