An Introduction to the Project

Illinois Association of Microboards and Cooperatives is a project of the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities.  The project is aimed at helping people live the lives they want to live, with the support of family, friends, community and public resources.

The project offers self-advocates, families and friends the opportunity to create Microboards and Human Service Cooperatives, consumer-governed structures that bring resources, authority and responsibility directly into the hands of the people whose lives are most affected by the way support services are organized.
