Collaboration. Our best work happens when government agencies, policy makers & direct service providers come together.
History
For nearly three decades we’ve provided support and resources to direct service providers in the state of Illinois. We’ve long been a respected voice in the Illinois disability policy arena, and we’ve emerged as a leader in the national space.
Mission & vision
Our mission is to create a better, more inclusive world for adults living with intellectual & developmental disabilities.
Our vision is a world where all adults living with I/DD see a world of possibility for themselves.
