Independent Living
is defined by the freedom to live, work, and play alongside
neighbors and co-workers. LICIL advocates for the protection
of that freedom through its efforts to reach members of the
community individually and collectively.
For individuals, we offer
guidance and education in the development of effective
self-advocacy skills necessary for pursuing personal success.
With respect to the larger
community of people with disabilities, LICIL strives to promote
and protect rights to equal employment, education, commerce,
healthcare and civil and social participation. This is
accomplished through initiatives for positive public policy
change and development, as well as action and support for
legislation that advances opportunities for individual choice
and unfettered community access for people with disabilities.
