Curated Resources

We are serious about making the connection between what research says and what you do with that research for consumers in local centers for independent living and community-based organizations, and among statewide independent living organizations.

From the vast possibilities available, we selected just a few of the best available resources that align with our systematic review of the research on improving community living for people with disabilities. 

For each resource we tell you

  • what the resource is
  • why we chose to include it
  • who benefits from it
  • how it can be used

We also provide a link to the resource or a site where you can access the resource in full.

We limited this site to non-commercial resources that are in the public domain or free to you.  If you want to suggest a resource that meets these overall criteria or provide feedback on the resources posted at this site, write us at rtcil@ku.edu.

Curated Resources

We have curated resources describing interventions in community participation, daily living, employment, housing, and quality of life--with more to come.
