'Essential' ILCSC
Mission Statement: ‘The ILCSC is Dedicated to Providing the Services Which Offer the Opportunity to Seek an Individual Path Towards Independence, While Educating the Community.’
ILCSC is a non-residential agency providing a wide range of services to a growing population of People with Disabilities, including Youth, Older Adults, and Veterans. We work with people of all ages with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Stroke, Cancer, Autism, Visual Impairments, Arthritis, Loss of Hearing, Mental Illness, and Physical Impairments.
Through a partnership with the Los Angeles County ADRC, 211, and a network of 5 other Independent Living Centers, we offer the ‘No Wrong Door’ program, which promotes consistency in the delivery of services. Warm transfers are offered to support consumer navigation through pathways in urgent situations.

If you come to us with a need, we are committed to assisting you in meeting that need.
Focused
We assist persons with disabilities in reaching their goal of living independently.
Dignified
How people are treated makes a direct impact upon them and we are dedicated to serving with kindness and dignity.
"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."
-Aesop
Since 1976
In 1975 Norma Jean Vescovo, Darrell McDaniel, Lou Nau, and Bob Campbell, worked together to plan, develop, and set up the operations of the ILCSC. As a team, we worked with the people in the community to seek out the needs of persons with disabilities.
The ILCSC was established in 1976 and we made one promise, that has been consistent for over 47 years, ‘If you are a person with a disability and need a service, come to us and you will receive that service.’
Remembering the Past...
ILCSC Board of Directors
The ILCSC Board of Directors guide the organization with advice and counsel. They help us to fulfill our Mission and vision. The Board provides the expertise and leadership needed in providing excellence, both in services and programs.
Our Board represents the people we serve. A minimum of 51% are persons with disabilities. They reflect the socioeconomic, ethnic, geographic and disability diversity of our community.
We appoint Board Members based upon their interest in our Mission, ‘The ILCSC is dedicated to providing the services which offer the opportunity to seek an individual path towards independence, while educating the community.’
Our Board meets 8 or more times annually. Board members are volunteers and are not paid.
The ILCSC thanks and appreciates all of our Board Members for their dedication and service!
