Promising Practices
The Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), as part its monitoring of state vocational rehabilitation and independent living programs funded under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, together with state vocational rehabilitation agencies and their stakeholders, have identified promising practices. These are practices developed and implemented in each state for the purpose of enhancing employment and independent living outcomes for individuals with disabilities. These practices provide useful samples of programs and services and each practice is unique, based on the needs and resources available in that state. The practice may work differently or produce different results in your state if you choose to replicate it.

SPIL Screening Tool
The Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) has developed a Screening Tool for reviewing the FY 2011-2013 State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL). RSA staff will be using this screening tool internally to review SPILs jointly submitted by State Independent Living Councils (SILCs) and Designated State Units (DSUs). While SILCs and DSUs are not required to use the screening tool, we strongly encourage its use as a self-evaluation check list within your state to determine if the SPIL contains the requisite information prior to submitting it to RSA for review and approval. The screening tool is available as an MS Word document (101K).
