Statewide Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) Priorities Survey
Persons with disabilities face many complex challenges and barriers. These may be unique to an individual or encountered by many people. Addressing these challenges and barriers requires a thoughtful and organized approach.

Each state is required to have a statewide independent living council (SILC). The primary duty of the SILC developing the State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) with the ILCs. The SPIL is a three-year plan. The SPIL explains how individuals with disabilities in Wisconsin get services from ILCs. It outlines ways to improve independent living services in the State. Finally, the SPIL addresses what individuals with significant disabilities need in Wisconsin. Ultimately, the goal of the SPIL is to eliminate as many challenges and barriers for persons with disabilities as possible.

Public input from consumers, stakeholders, and community partners is needed to describe the challenges and barriers persons with disabilities face.  Please take a few minutes to complete the SPIL public input survey. Your input will help develop Wisconsin’s SPIL and assist the Independent Living Network addressing the needs of persons with disabilities.

Independent Living Centers
Wisconsin has 8 Independent Living Centers (ILCs). ILCs are consumer-controlled, community-based, cross-disability, nonresidential private non-profit agencies. ILCs work in their local communities. They are designed and operated by persons with disabilities. Every ILC offers different services to address needs in their community. Each must also provide the following five core services:

Information and referral. ILCs may be able help you out if you are having trouble with something. ILCs can also tell you who to talk to, and where to look to find what you need.

IL skills training. Independent Living is all about doing things on your own. ILCs help persons with disabilities learn how to do things that will allow them to live as independently as possible.

Peer Counseling. ILCs connect persons who have similar disabilities or similar lived experience to help each other and support each other.

Individual and Systems Advocacy. Staff at ILCs can advocate for you and can teach you how to advocate for yourself. They also work with local, state, and federal governments to protect the rights of persons with disabilities, and to make sure persons with disabilities have what they need to live in their communities.

Transition services. These may be one of several things: Helping persons move from nursing homes and other institutions back into the community. Helping those at risk of entering institutions remain in the community. Helping youth transition to postsecondary life.
