Integrated Living Opportunities is a nonprofit based in DC and Maryland that supports adults with Down syndrome, Autism, and intellectual and developmental disabilities (self-advocates) to live independently.
ILO is a coalition made up of Self-Advocates, Participating Families, ILO Staff, our Executive Director, and a Board of Directors. Together we create supportive communities of peers and caring people who help self-advocates transition to independent living.
