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.
