Established in 1980, Services for Independent Living, Inc., is a nonprofit independent living center providing services and advocacy for persons with disabilities in Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga and Lorain counties.
The goal of SIL is to ensure that people with disabilities have the same opportunities and choices available to others in areas such as public access, education, employment, housing, transportation and recreation.
Consumer involvement is the key element of the independent living philosophy. A majority of SIL's board and staff are people with disabilities. What does this mean to people with disabilities interested in independence? It means that our services are provided by people who truly understand disability.
