Independent Living philosophy states that individuals with disabilities are the best determinants of their own needs and service choices. Through role modeling and peer counseling, with other individuals with disabilities, they become empowered to make changes in their lives and become more self-sufficient and self-reliant. Northeast Independent Living Program is known throughout the state for helping individuals regain and retain their independence and equality in the community through Information & Referral, Advocacy, Skills Training, Peer Counseling and Transitions. We are a community of people who open doors to create an all-inclusive community free of communication, attitudinal, economic and architectural barriers for all people with disabilities.
