The Maine Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC)
is dedicated to ensuring that citizens with disabilities have control over
their lives and environments with equal access to option, opportunities,
and choices, as do all citizens.
The Maine Statewide
Independent Living Council (SILC)is a federally mandated council under the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
The Maine SILC advances
independent living by engaging in or supporting research, publication,
employment, community organizing, advocacy, and systems
reform.
Federal statute requires that a Statewide
independent Living Council be established and not within a State
agency.
