SILC-NET Presents… A National Teleconference & Webinar:
SPIL Development: Preparing Your SPIL and Recommendations from the SPIL Revision Committee
August 29, 2018; 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. Eastern
** We regret to announce that this training has been cancelled. ACL is planning to provide new information on the forthcoming SPIL instrument and instructions. They have asked us to withhold trainings on SPIL development and the new SPIL instrument until they release that information. While we believe that this is an important time for trainings on SPIL development, we have agreed to cancel this event until ACL has an opportunity to communicate with the SILCs about plans for next year’s SPIL. Registration fees will be automatically re-funded. Registrants do not need to take further action to cancel or receive a refund. We regret any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
State Plans for Independent Living (SPILs) are due next June, less than a year away. Your plan is likely well underway, but there is still time to improve your process. Join us on August 29 to learn the latest on the SPIL, including what has changed since the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act (WIOA) passed, how to get the most out of your SPIL, and the recommendations of the SPIL Revision Committee – a group of SILC and IL advocates that advised the Administration for Community Living (ACL) on the forthcoming revisions to the SPIL instrument and instructions.
Don’t miss this opportunity to get the latest information on SPILs. Sign up today!
Registration Fee: $75.00. Fee is per site (connection) and does not apply per participant; registrants are encouraged to gather as many individuals as desired to participate by telephone.
Target Audience
SILC members, executive directors, program managers, CIL staff and board members, DSE representatives, and other stakeholders involved in developing the State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL).
