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.

Our summer interns, from Islip School District, had the opportunity to visit Pal-O-Mine Equestrian, a comprehensive therapeutic equine program, and learn all about the incredible animals and services they offer! From meeting the horses and learning about their care to exploring different forms of equine-assisted therapy, our interns got a firsthand look at how animals can support wellness and growth!
Thank you, Pal-O-Mine! 🐎❤
