Empowering Independence™ for People with Disabilities
It's not the disability...it's the barrierMost people take for granted the many aspects of everyday life such as working, shopping, getting around town, finding a place to live, and engaging in social and recreational activities. But for a person with a disability, barriers in communities often exist that restrict life's activities. A physical barriers such as the lack of a ramped entrance to a building, a communication barrier such as the the lack of an interpreter for a person who is deaf, or attitudinal barriers that curb employment and housing opportunities for a person with a disability, often limit choices and the freedom to live an independent, self-sufficient life. These barriers also prevent many persons with disabilities from realizing their dreams.
The Northern Michigan Alliance for Independent Living is working to eliminate these barriers by connecting people to information and community resources, advocating for positive social change, providing independent living skill training, and bringing persons with disabilities together to share their ideas and experiences so that they may gain more control, understanding, and confidence, as well as the ability to live a life of self-determination.
