About
They empower individuals with disabilities to live independently, advocate for their rights, and fully participate in community life. Founded on the principles of the Independent Living Movement, Independence First believes that disability is a natural part of the human experience, and that people with disabilities are the best experts on their own lives. They offer a wide range of services, including advocacy, personal care assistance, and independent living services, to help individuals achieve their goals. Their dedicated staff, including over half who are people with disabilities themselves, work to remove physical, social, economic, and attitudinal barriers that limit full participation. They serve individuals with all types of disabilities, including physical, sensory, cognitive, mental health, and chronic conditions, across the lifespan from youth to older adults.
