WHAT IS NRCIL?

Northern Regional Center for Independent Living is a disability rights and resource center that promotes community efforts to end discrimination, segregation, and prejudice against people with disabilities. NRCIL works with community partners to create an accessible, inclusive society. Through NRCIL, people discover choices to live more independently, with enhanced dignity.

NRCIL serves people with disabilities and their families in Jefferson and Lewis counties. NRCIL serves people of all ages and disabilities. We also work with public officials, service providers and businesses that require technical assistance in responding to the needs of persons with disabilities. Services to individuals and families are provided free of charge.

WHAT IS THE INDEPENDENT LIVING PHILOSOPHY?

The Independent Living philosophy is based on the premise that it is the right and responsibility of all people with disabilities to participate in their communities with as great a degree of freedom as possible. Independent Living supports and advocates for the civil rights of people with disabilities.
