Promoting independence and equality with the right people
The Independent Living Resource Center is a Peer-to-Peer, Consumer Controlled organization. We believe that people with disabilities are their own best advocates and we are passionate about disability rights. At least 51% of our staff are people with disabilities who have experienced the discrimination, prejudice and physical/social barriers you may be experiencing right now. We draw on our own personal and professional experience in overcoming these barriers to support you in achieving your goals for independence.
