New Mexicans with Disabilities Unmet Needs Survey and Information
Please distribute!!

 Introduction
Thank you for your interest in our survey and finding out more about services available in your area to support people with disabilities. NM SILC works closely with all CILs in New Mexico and is conducting this survey. You may or may not know about New Mexico Centers for Independent Living or CILs. There are 5 CILs across New Mexico. Some of these CILs have offices in multiple towns. CILs are non-profit organizations that provide services and support to people with all types of disabilities. They believe that people with disabilities can live, work, and participate fully in their communities and be in charge of their own lives. More information about New Mexico CILs will be provided at the end of this introduction.

This survey and information provided has two goals:

1) To gain valuable information about what you need so that NM SILC and CILs across the state can work to enhance programs and improve the services they provide now for New Mexicans who have disabilities.
2)To give you, as a person or the family member of a person with a disability and/or chronic health condition, information about Centers for Independent Living (CILs), the services they have available and where you can go in your area to get help from a CIL.
We want to hear directly from people who have disabilities, their family members, caregivers and other stakeholders. It should take about 5 minutes, at most, to answer these questions. The survey will remain open.

 If you have questions about the survey, or would like an alternate format email: Kathy@disability-revolution.com.
THANK YOU for your time.
