CENTRAL IOWA CENTER FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING

The Central Iowa Center for Independent Living is a community based, non-profit, non-residential program serving persons with disabilities. Our board of directors is composed of a majority of persons who have disabilities. CICIL is dedicated to assiting all persons, regardless of disability in making choices about their own lives and in experiencing success as active participants in society.

CICIL serves people with disabilities and their families in Boone, Dallas, Jasper, Polk, Madison, Marion, Story, and Warren counties. CICIL serves people of all ages and disabilities. We also work with public officials, service providers and businesses that require technical assistance in responding to the needs of persons with disabilities. Services to individuals and families are provided free of charge or at a reduced rate.

CICIL works in conjunction with the Great Plains Disability Business Technical Assistance Center to provide technical assistance with regards to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Services provided include accessibility surveys, job analysis, written site accessibility reports, and suggestions on reasonable accommodations in compliance with the ADA.

ADA consultation is provided to consumers, their families, organizations, and businesses concerning the legal rights of persons with disabilities under the ADA.
