The Utah Independent Living Center (UILC) is a non-residential facility
that provides services which enhance the independence of people
with disabilities. Staff members who themselves have a disability
play an important role in the delivery of independent living services
which include peer support, independent living skills training,
information & referral and advocacy both individually and
in the community. In order to be eligible to receive UILC services,
consumers must: 1) need UILC assistance in order to attain or
maintain a higher level of independence than presently exists in
their own lives, 2) they must cooperate with the UILC in obtaining
that assistance, and 3) there needs to be progress made in the UILC
program.
