We live by our values

Experience. We’ve spent 30 years supporting adults with intellectual & developmental disabilities.

Integrity. Nothing matters more than the needs of the community.

Collaboration.  Our best work happens when government agencies, policy makers & direct service providers come together.

History

For nearly three decades we’ve provided support and resources to direct service providers in the state of Illinois. We’ve long been a respected voice in the Illinois disability policy arena, and we’ve emerged as a leader in the national space.

Mission & vision

The Institute’s mission is to promote policy and practice that supports all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to access services and resources to pursue valued and meaningful lives.

Helping people with intellectual & developmental disabilities live independently.
