Self-Initiated Living Options, Inc. - SILO

Self-Initiated Living Options, Inc. - SILO Nonprofit organization that provides programs/services to people with disabilities throughout LI, NY

*We service both Suffolk and Nassau County*

SILO has been a staple of the disability community since 1985. An Advocacy and Information and Referral agency, it has worked with individuals, businesses, and agencies to promote equal access for people with all disabilities. SILO is not a "case management" agency; rather, our focus is on empowerment, mentorship, knowledge, and advocacy. Most of our se

rvice staff are people with disabilities themselves, and this peer model facilitates a better relationship between the Independent Living Skills Specialist and the individual being served. Two questions we ask all consumers before getting involved with us: "How badly do you want to achieve your goals?" and "Are you willing to work hard to accomplish them?" SILO's services are person-centered so individuals determine their individual goals, not other people. SILO helps the individual acquire the tools needed to accomplish those goals.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month.

This year's theme is Stronger Together: Connect. Support. Prevent; reminding us to strengthen connections that protect people before a crisis occurs and ensuring everyone knows where to turn before they need it. When people feel connected, valued, and supported, they are more likely to seek help.

Always remember that you are never alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.

Marilyn Tucci, SILO's Director of Advocacy, was interviewed by Via Transportation, creators of Via Paratransit.

Through the Via System, Suffolk County Accessible Transportation (S**T) can track vehicles and communicate with riders in real-time. The app allows riders to schedule their trips in advance and track their vehicle so they know exactly when it will arrive.

Thank you to Via Transportation and S**T for helping promote greater independence and accessible travel!
