Springfield Center for Independent Living
Springfield Center for Independent Living
SCIL's mission is to increase opportunities for equality, integration, and independence for all persons with disabilities through advocacy, services, and public education. Independent Living Centers are non-residential, non-profit, consumer-controlled, community-based organizations providing services and advocacy by and for persons with all types of disabilities.
A center for independent living (CIL) is based on the independent living philosophy which is the belief that all persons, regardless of disability, have the right and responsibility to control and direct their own lives and to fully participate as equal members of society. There are 23 centers in Illinois. CILs lead efforts to break down barriers and prejudices within communities, replacing them with positive attitudes resulting in equal access to society for people with disabilities. SCIL's philosophy is based on consumer control. To ensure that focus is maintained, at least 51% of the staff and board of directors must be people with disabilities. CILs serve people with disabilities, their families, advocates, individual organizations and businesses interested in learning more about independent living.
