ILCW promotes self-determination and full inclusion of people with disabilities in Wisconsin.
• ILCW educates and advocates for policies, resources, practices and attitudes that support independent living.
• ILCW provides and supports the independent living philosophy and services to maximize the leadership, empowerment, and productivity of individuals with disabilities in order that each will live and participate in their community of choice. ILCW is the Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC). The Council’s functions include the following:
• Developing the State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) jointly with Wisconsin’s eight Independent Living Center directors.
• Reviewing, monitoring, and evaluating the implementation of the SPIL.
• Coordinating activities with other organizations and agencies that provide services similar to or complimentary to Independent Living Center core services.
