ILRU Publications

ILRU has developed a variety of publications on independent living subjects, including a technical report series; monographs outlining the implications of health care reform for independent living; ADA resource materials available in both English and Spanish; directories of independent living centers and of independent living support materials; and handbooks providing background information on the independent living movement and on establishing and operating an independent living center.

In addition, a number of resources and useful links are available on the ILRU Web site. Among those resources are posters depicting people with disabilities as active and productive members of society; audio-visual products on different versions of independent living programs and on rural independent living, frequently asked questions on the ADA and disability law; a 704 reports database; resources and useful links on Olmstead implementation; and resources on technology for independence.
