Managing the Art of Living

Managing the Art of Living is a project sponsored by the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities.

The project offers self-advocates, families and friends the opportunity to create Microboards and Human Service Cooperatives.

These consumer-governed structures bring resources, authority and responsibility directly into the hands of the people whose lives are most affected by the way support services are organized.
