> The State Plan Affects Everyone  
> A State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL or state plan) must reflect the needs of individuals with significant disabilities in the state. To accurately describe the complexity of the challenges and barriers encountered both individually and at the systems level requires a thoughtful, organized approach.
> 
> The Plan outlines the goals and objectives of the Independent Living Program for the next three years, as well as the steps we will take across the state to support and achieve them.
> 
> Working Together For Ohio  
> The primary Duty of the Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) is to jointly develop the State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL or state plan) with the Centers for Independent Living (CILs) in the state, after public input from individuals with disabilities, other stakeholders, and all segments of the public are considered. The SPIL reflects the state’s commitment to comply with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements during the three years covered by the plan.
