The Indiana Independent Living Services Program encompasses two partnership areas: the Centers for Independent Living, also known as CILs, and the Indiana Statewide Independent Living Council known as INSILC. Independent living philosophy emphasizes consumer control, the idea that people with disabilities are the best experts on their own needs, having crucial and valuable perspective to contribute and deserving of equal opportunity to decide how to live, work and take part in their communities, particularly in reference to services that powerfully affect their day-to-day lives and access to independence.
