The Independent Living movement is founded on the right of people with disabilities to live with dignity in their chosen community, participate in all aspects of their life and control and make decisions about their own life. We want to make a lasting difference in the lives of people with disabilities. We foster an environment based on the Independent Living philosophy of self-determination & self-management; an environment where "everyone belongs." We support individuals with disabilities through peer-support, education, leadership to encourage personal development, independence, and self-determination.
