(20 ILCS 2405/11) (from Ch. 23, par. 3442)
Sec. 11. Illinois Center for Rehabilitation and Education. The
Department shall operate and maintain the Illinois
Center for Rehabilitation and Education for the care and education of
educable young adults with one or more physical disabilities and provide in
connection therewith nursing and medical care and academic, occupational,
and related training to such young adults.
Any Illinois resident under the age of 22 years who is educable
but has such a severe physical disability as a result of cerebral
palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, or other cause that
he or she is unable to take advantage of the system of free education in the State
of Illinois, may be admitted to the Center or be entitled to services and
facilities provided hereunder. Young adults shall be admitted to the Center or
be eligible for such services and facilities only after diagnosis according
to procedures approved for this purpose. The Department may avail itself
of the services of other public or private agencies in determining any
young
adult's eligibility for admission to, or discharge from, the
Center.
The Department may call upon other agencies of the
State for such services as they are equipped to render in the care of young adults
with one or more physical disabilities, and such agencies are instructed to
render those services which are consistent with their legal and
administrative responsibilities.
