What is Independent Living Services?
Independent living (IL) services help people with disabilities achieve greater independence in the home and community. We are a non-residential, nonprofit organization that helps people with disabilities achieve their independent living goals. There are 7 other nonprofits like ours in Wisconsin. We serve all people, regardless of their disability type.
We provide:
Peer Support (Meeting with other people with disabilities in a group or individual setting for mentoring)
Information and Referral (Helping people get the information they need to live independently)
Individual and Systems Advocacy (Speaking out to pursue personal rights and policy change)
Independent Living Skills Training (Education on the many elements for a successful life in the community)
Transition Support (Bridging high school to college and/or work, and assist individuals living in a nursing home that want to return to their homes in the community)
