Our Mission

Empower Persons With Disabilities To Effectively Control And Direct Their Lives

Independent Living is understood to mean that persons with disabilities are capable of controlling their own lives and participating fully in family and community activities.

All citizens, regardless of disability, have the right to a job, an education, a place to live, to go into public places, and to enjoy life to the fullest. Citizens have the responsibility to be informed, to make their own decisions, and to help others.
