Qualifications

By charter, at least 51% of employees at ILCs have disabilities, as does 51% of the center's board of directors. Center employees also represent all types of disabilities from those with cognitive disabilities to mobility impairments to people who are blind or deaf to persons with learning disabilities. These factors underscore the importance of consumer control in the ILC. The center vests power and authority in individuals with disabilities and is designed by and for the local disability community.
