LIL has exciting information from Canada and around the world on literacy and disability issues! These resources are up-to-date and respect the Independent Living Philosophy.

LIL is an online project of the Canadian Association of Independent Living Centres (CAILC) in partnership with the National Adult Literacy Database (NALD). This project was funded by the National Literacy Secretariat (NLS), Human Resources Development Canada.
