On behalf of individuals with disabilities, their families, and care givers.
We provide advocacy on a one-to-one basis providing assistance to consumers in any area of daily living to achieve greater independence.
Independent Lifestyles is also committed to advocacy on a systems level addressing and removing barriers for people with disabilities so they can live more independently.
It is giving ourselves a voice; the ability to communicate and assert our rights, needs, and desires. Through self-advocacy, you have self-knowledge, which empowers you to make informed decisions and take responsibility for those decisions. It is knowing who you are and what you can do.
Independent Lifestyles’ Advocates for Independence Committee includes staff, consumers, and community members who join together to support each other in their self-advocacy efforts as well as addressing disability issues in the community.
Members also attend self-advocacy conferences, fundraise, send letters to businesses regarding accessibility, and participate in community meetings, such as HRA, Human Rights, and Town Hall Forums.
