All programs, services, and activities are designed to facilitate maximum independence for individuals with disabilities through efforts that promote empowerment and improvement of the overall quality of life of those individuals and their families.
Independent living is defined as the right of people with disabilities to control and direct their own lives, including choosing lifestyle options with minimal dependence on others and participating in everyday activities with only the limits people without disabilities have.
