“The Independent Living Center of Southern California would like to take this opportunity to honor Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020) for her work in assuring independence for persons with disabilities. Justice Ginsburg authored the 1999 landmark decision, Olmstead v. L.C., upholding the right of people with disabilities of all ages to live, work, and participate in their communities, and rejecting institutional segregation.“

PROVIDING VITAL SERVICES FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES…


“A client with a Traumatic Brain Injury, with the assistance of his ILCSC Case Manager, obtained a position as an Electronic Associate…just a few years after experiencing his accident. He was very excited about working again and interacting with the public as a professional. This opportunity helped him assess his capabilities, and to put into perspective his goals and support in determining suitable employment in the future.“
