Welcome to Indiana Council on Independent Living
The Indiana Council on Independent Living, or ICOIL, was set up by federal and
state law and is made up of people from different parts of Indiana. The
ICOIL members are also people of different backgrounds with different
experiences. It includes many people with disabilities and was formed to
promote Independent Living and the philosophy of Independent Living that affects
people with disabilities in Indiana.
ICOIL values the belief that people with disabilities should have the same civil
rights, choices, options, and control over choices in their lives as do people
without disabilities. The Council does this through state planning to
develop and expand independent living services and the independent living
philosophy throughout the state.
The Council hopes this website provides useful information about ICOIL and
Independent Living in Indiana.

The Indiana Government Conference Center is physically accessible.
American Sign Language interpreters, remote video interpreting services, and agendas in large print,
