Overview of Independent Living
A description of services available to help people with disabilities live more independently.
Mission
Our mission is to support the Independent Living (IL) philosophy and services in Utah to help individuals with disabilities live independently in their homes and communities.
Activities include:
Supporting services to unserved and underserved people with
disabilities by Centers for Independent Living (CILs).
Increasing awareness of IL services and IL philosophy.
Helping existing CILs to serve persons with disabilities.
Promoting the development of new CILs.
Developing and monitoring contracts.
USOR emphasizes the IL philosophy and vision of people with disabilities controlling the decisions in their lives. People with disabilities do not need to be “fixed.” Rather, the locus of problems lies in inaccessible environments, organizations, agencies, businesses, communities, and attitudes.
