All of our services are
provided with the independent living philosophy as their foundation.

Discrimination, whether
it’s because of disability, gender, sexual orientation or race, is illegal.
Some individuals, businesses, agencies or organizations, though, may
inadvertently allow barriers to exist without realizing they are discriminating
against a segment of the population. At times it’s necessary to advocate for
one’s equal rights by initiating discussion or negotiation with the party that
has erected the barrier(s).
When individual
rights are denied or abridged because of disability, our staff will work
with you, and with the organization or business involved, to identify a
solution that provides you with reasonable access.
ILRC provides advocacy
assistance to individuals who experience discrimination in employment or
housing or who are denied access to services and facilities that are available
to the general public.
