About the Training

The State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL), the document required for ongoing funding of the independent living program and legal blueprint for statewide funding decisions, is due for re-submission to RSA later in 2010 via RSA’s new Management Information System (MIS).

SILC-NET, in collaboration with RSA has developed an online planning guide as a technical assistance resource for states to use in developing the SPIL. This free webinar/teleconference is an orientation to the How-To Guide. The How-to Guide for Developing an Outcomes-Focused SPIL is available on the ILRU ILNET Wiki at: http://www.wiki.ilru.net/index.php/Main_Page. It includes pertinent regulatory citations, examples of SPIL narrative sections, and questions that can be used to ensure that the narrative sections include the required information.

Learning Objectives

Viewers will learn about:

• features, tools, and resources on the IL-NET Wiki
• resources that will help states improve the quality of the SPIL planning process
• resources states can use to develop an outcomes-focused SPIL and to comply with RSA requirements
