Independence doesn’t mean you have to go it alone

 

Catskill Center for Independence is one of approximately 40 locally controlled independent living centers found throughout New York State.What this means is we are a non-residential, not-for-profit, community based, disability advocacy agency. The Center provides a variety of programs and services all with the goal of assisting and supporting individuals with disabilities in our community in their attainment of universal access and opportunity in every aspect of their lives.

We are a “Community of One.” The Center is run by individuals with disabilities for individuals with disabilities. In order to call ourselves an independent living center, at least 51% of our board of directors must be individuals with disabilities. Additionally, many of the Center’s staff also have personal experience with a disability. We serve individuals of any age with any type of disability. To further our goal we also provide services to families and friends, businesses, agencies, and municipalities. Since 1987 the Center has been committed to the elimination of physical, programmatic and attitudinal barriers. We also are dedicated to assisting individuals with disabilities to become more independent in all phases of their lives. Our staff is committed to serving anyone with a disability who needs our services or assistance in becoming more independent in their lives and communities.
