Personal Assistants
The Southern Illinois Center for Independent Living (SICIL) recruits and maintains lists of prospective personal assistants (PA) for students who require assistance with activities of daily living. SICIL and the Division of Rehabilitation Services (DRS) can also advise students on the amount of PA care they may need. Students are responsible for interviewing, hiring, training, paying and replacing PAs. DRS may pay for the services of PAs; students are encouraged to contact their local DRS Offices to open cases.
