The Arkansas Independent Living Council is a non-profit organization promoting independent living for people with disabilities. The AILC has a Board of Directors comprised of Governor appointed Arkansans, the majority with disabilities.
The Arkansas Independent Living Council is an education, advocacy, and referral agency that works to provide information to the public throughout the state about the Independent Living Philosophy, civil rights, technology and services.
The Council envisions an Arkansas where all its citizens have equal rights and opportunities. Therefore, the mission of the AILC is to promote independence including freedom of choice and full inclusion into the mainstream of society for all Arkansans with all types of disabilities.
The AILC collaborates with the Centers for Independent Living to provide the four core services which include Information and Referral, Peer Support, Independent Living Skills Training and Advocacy. Centers for Independent Living, or CILs, are places where people with all types of disabilities can go to get services, enabling them to live more independently in their community. Arkansas has four such places which cover the state with Independent Living services. Each of the Centers also participates in other community projects or grants.
The AILC maintains a resource library open to the public which includes information and technology pertinent to the life of an individual with a disability
The AILC staff maintains a good networking relationship with other agencies throughout the state and nationally to help to strengthen and build the IL philosophy across Arkansas.
