Independent living is for all

The Indiana Statewide Independent Living Council (INSILC), was set up by federal and state law and is made up of people from regions of Indiana. The INSILC members are also people of different backgrounds with different experiences. It includes many people with disabilities and was formed to promote Independent Living and the philosophy of Independent Living that affects people with disabilities in Indiana.

INSILC values the belief that people with disabilities should have the same civil rights, choices, options, and control over choices in their lives as do people without disabilities. The Council promotes the development of the state plan to expand independent living services and philosophy throughout the state.

The Council hopes this website provides useful information about INSILC and Independent Living in Indiana.
