Rockland 獨立生存中心
The Rockland Independent Living Center (RILC) is a not-for-profit
agency serving all individuals with disabilities. RILC is one of
37 Independent Living Centers in NY State helping to promote the
philosophy of consumer empowerment and control. This includes all
areas of life education, recreation, employment, housing, and
community involvement. RILC opened its doors in October 1986 as a
result of the hard work and perseverance of several individuals
who were committed to removing architectural, attitudinal and
legislative barriers to accessibility.
The Independent Living Philosophy simply states that all individuals,
regardless of disability, have the same basic human rights to live
independently and have full control over the direction of their lives.
RILC believes that education about, and awareness of disability issues
are powerful catalysts for change in our community. What separates RILC
from other disability service organizations is that we are required
to have a staff and board of directors that are comprised of at least
51% with people with disabilities. With this peer approach format we
can prove that it is best that service and education of our community
for and about disabilities be provided by people with disabilities.
