ILRU is a program of TIRR Memorial Hermann, a nationally recognized medical rehabilitation facility for persons with disabilities.

ILRU’s IL-NET National Training and Technical Assistance Center for Independent Living activities came to a close in September 2024. The program provided timely training and technical assistance to CILs, SILCs, and DSEs. IL-NET activities concluded in September 2024 after TIRR Memorial Hermann, ILRU’s parent organization, declined to continue the federal contract. Moving forward, support will be provided through the University of Montana Training and Technical Assistance Center (web address forthcoming).
