What is Independent Living?

Independent living is the idea that people with disabilities are the best experts on our own needs. That we have a valuable perspective to contribute and deserve equal opportunity to decide how to live, work, and take part in our communities. Independent living means having the opportunity and resources to live the life of our choosing.
