Independent Living, London and Area

We are a registered non-profit incorporated under the Independent Living Philosophy. The Independent Living Philosophy works to unite persons with disabilities with the resources they need to meet their needs on their own terms. Doing so promotes agency, or the ability to make plans and carry them out. It also promotes efficacy, which is the view of one self as a person who can follow through on their plans. Both traits are critical to the psychological well-being of the individual.

Independent Living Centers are based around core services that are selected to meet the needs of the community. Independent Living, London and Area is based around the Peer Support Program and Direct Funding. Peer Support offers a variety of engaging activities and events that are designed to reduce barriers to participation for the participants. Direct Funding is a provincially mandated program that allows a person with a disability to act as the direct employer of their caregiver.

Our organization is a professional environment that prides itself on maintaining a friendly, community oriented team. If you reach out to us today, we would love to talk to you about what it is we do, and how you can be involved.
