We provide some direct services, such as peer counseling, independent
living skills training, individual advocacy, information and referral. But
the most significant way that we impact the lives of people with disabilities
is through systemic advocacy, working to bring about the kinds of positive
changes that will make a difference now, and make it easier for the next
generation.

We are a resource not only to people with disabilities, but also to senior
citizens, to family members, to local government, business and civic
organizations. One of our primary objectives is to help people with
disabilities, and senior citizens to leave or avoid having to go to nursing
homes and other restrictive institutions so that they can live in their own
homes, in their own community.
