The Maine Statewide Independent Living Council (Maine SILC) is an
organization formed to serve all people with disabilities in our state. We
are a true
cross disability organization!
Our survey, and these Spring SILC Summits that have been held, will provide opportunities for the public to
offer information for the State Plan for Independent Living, a three year
plan setting goals for
independent living services in Maine. The "Maine SILC" is working to
produce a plan that fits the needs of all who live independently or want to
be living
independently in our state. It will be used to effect services with Maine's
Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and to set priorities for Maine SILC's
advocacy work. This plan is also to be filed with the Federal
Rehabilitation Services Administration.
The Council seeks input from persons with disabilities and their friends and
families to drive meaningful and creative independent living services and
advocacy
for all people with disabilities in Maine.
If you, or someone you know has a message about living independently, please
attend!
We are encouraging agency personnel and families who receive this
information to assist people with disabilities with the survey, when
necessary. It is the lives of people
with disabilities that we, as Council members, are working to improve. This
is a chance for people with disabilities to have input toward services and
advocacy. It is also a chance for all to learn how the Maine SILC can have
advocacy efforts and projects that directly connect with people with
disabilities.
