Newsletter
I&R produces Options, a quarterly newsletter accessible in a variety of formats, that is distributed to all ILRC members and within the community.

Knowledge can often make the difference between dependence and independence.
Whenever you are uncertain about where to go or who to call about the resources you need to live independently in the community, call the I&R Program.
