If you are seeking services, first contact your Center for Independent Living. CILs are advocacy organizations run by and for people with disabilities. They provide five “core” services:
Peer
Support
Independent Living
Skills Training
Information
and Referral
Individual and
Systems Advocacy
Transition to
Community Life
Most CILs provide many other services, which you can find on their individual websites:
If you’re not sure which CIL serves your county, contact your Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC).
If you wish to file a complaint about an Independent Living organization, there are two options:
- Contact your state’s Client Assistance Program
- Contact the Administration for Community Living (ACL) at 202.401.4634 or view the ACL Office of Independent Living (OILP) Contact List.
NCIL is an association of Centers for Independent Living (CILs), Statewide Independent Living Councils (SILCs), and individual Independent Living advocates. NCIL has no oversight authority.
