Overview of SPIL preliminary draft of the SPIL goals, objectives, and indicators. We expect to make substantial changes to this document based on community feedback. guidelines drawn from the SPIL development workshop by ILRU; seen and approved by RSA.

We used guidelines from an RSA approved workshop First, decide what you want to achieve. – What are your goals and objectives? Second, create specifics. – How will you measure this? What are your targets? Third, develop an action strategy. – What activities? Who is responsible? What resources are need?

Overview: Structure Goals: These are the desired outcomes. We may not expect to complete a goal in three years, but we should be able to see progress. We therefore tried to create goals that are attainable and realistic. Objectives: These are our short-term outcomes. We expect to be able to complete an objective in 3 years. Measurable Indicators: These are the data that we expect to collect to know whether we are successful with our objectives. An indicator defines our objective.

Vision: To influence policy and access to service delivery for all individuals with disabilities in California. Mission: To create policy and systems change for independent living.
