Client Stories
Meet Robert! Robert was once living in a 24-hour CILA with other individuals with intellectual disabilities. Robert used to attend a workshop setting for individuals with disabilities, but always wanted competitive employment. Robert's ISC sent his referral packet to Supporting Community Independence and he was accepted into the program. Since being admitted, Robert has achieved many things. Robert now lives in a 3-bedroom townhouse in Edwardsville, IL with a roommate. He works at HomeGoods and regularly volunteers at the Humane Society. Robert also achieved a life-long dream - seeing the ocean! Last year, Robert saved up his money from working and took a trip to Destin, FL with our QIDP. Robert said it was amazing and is already planning his next vacation!
Meet Tineka! Tineka was once living in a 24-hour CILA and attended a workshop setting for individuals with disabilities. It was always Tineka's dream to live on her own and to get a job in the community. Tineka worked really hard on building upon her community living skills while living at the CILA. Tineka's ISC then sent her referral packet to SCI and she was accepted into the program. Tineka moved into a 3-bedroom townhouse in Edwardsville, IL. Tineka is currently looking for a roommate who shares similar interests and values to her. She works in the community and loves her job. Tineka is saving up to go to Las Vegas for the first time and hopes to check out some boy band concerts on the Vegas Strip!
