Survey on AAAs

Relationship between
CILs and State Agencies

Liberators for Justice (L4J) is collecting data on the nature of relationships between Centers for Independent Living (CILs), Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), Adult Protective Services (APS) programs, and long-term care ombudsman programs. (See more about AAAs here, about APS programs here, and about long-term care ombudsman programs here.)

L4J seeks to determine the level of collaboration between Independent Living organizations and these agencies, especially in self-determination services and supports for people with disabilities and the provision of alternatives to guardianship/conservatorship. We appreciate your input.

Estimated time to complete survey: 5-10 minutes.
