Shaping the Future of Disability Services in Arizona

Vicki Cuscino, Executive Director

Lift Your Voice for Services that Matter to You!

The results from this survey will create a 3 year State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) for services championed by AZSILC. This plan is not only carried our by AZSILC but also in collaboration with the 5 Centers for Independent Living throughout Arizona, including Direct Advocacy and Resource Center. This means your feedback has an impact on the services we deliver in partnership with AZSILC!
