News: SPRING ONLINE TRANSITION SUMMIT
GOING ON AGAIN!!! ONLINE TRANSITION SUMMIT:
MAY 12th to May 16th!


We would like to welcome you to MCIL’s 4th Online Transition Summit where we will be discussing a variety of issues related to youth with disabilities as they transition from school life to adult life. For everyone involved, this is both an exciting time and a scary time. For parents, family members, teachers/professionals, and for the student themselves, the transition period is a very complex and trying process.


The purpose of this Online Summit is to do the following:
  • Bring people together. More can be accomplished when we all work together.
  • Problem Solve: Got a question? Got an answer? Bring both!
    Generate Discussion: Many people talking about issues or situations generates more ideas!
  • Collaborate: Working together, we can improve transition for ALL youth!
  • Demonstrate: This Summit is meant to show how useful this discussion board can be to all of us.
  • Go to our Discussion Forum and go into the Transition section to find out more!

News: Only sixty days planning to get out of nursing home
Articles writen by one of MCIL staff New rules from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) would make it harder for nursing home residents to move out in the community.

If proposed rule changes go into effect, only 60 days of relocation services will be funded rather than the 180 days of relocation services available. Bottom line: many would not be able to get out of the nursing home at all. Eva Hansen, manager of MCIL's relocation program, estimates that 70% or more of relocation cases take longer than 60 days.

Read the full story from Access Press:

Sixty Days to Plan the Move


Contact your legislator to tell them this rule cannot be changed!
Watch for sample letters to be posted on this site.

Go here for contact information for your legislators.

MCIL'S NEW WEBSITE

Welcome to MCIL's new web site. We are excited about this new web site for many reasons. First, we want to make this web site a destination that brings you up-to-date news and information related to the disability community. Second, we want this site to facilitate communication between community members and MCIL staff. Third, we want to integrate various tools such as on-line evaluation forms, downloadable federal, state, and local forms, and other useful documents that people may need. Finally, the overall idea behind this new web site is that it will increase the capacity of MCIL to meet the needs of our consumers, staff, and others who have a stake in issues and topics in the disability community.

Creating MCIL's web site has been a quite the undertaking and we recognize that there may be things we need to address. Accessibility is of vital importance and if you have an issue view and/or using our web site, please let us know and we will do what we can to address the issue. We recognize that there will be issues and we ask that you be patient when issues do arise. Our goal is to make this site usable and accessible to all people.

Again, we are excited about our new website as we use it as a tool to reach more people and to address issues within the disability community. We hope you visit often and find the site useful.
