Who We Are

We offer Education, Training & Services for Community Based Independent Living.

We serve adults with developmental disabilities who are interested in living independently and learning the skills necessary to be a self-sustaining contributing member of their community.

Our Person Centered Programs provide individualized opportunities for education, employment, recreation, and social activities. These programs are designed to encourage personal independence and basic academic achievement.

ILI believes that the freedom to make choices and the ability to live in the community is a basic human right that should be extended to all people, regardless of ability. We motivate our clients to develop self-determined goals towards further independence.
