Independent living is a movement guided by the philosophy that people with disabilities have both the right and the responsibility to direct our own lives and pursue our own personal goals. LCCIL supports and upholds this philosophy.
To empower people with disabilities to lead self-directed lives as valued members of the community.
That people with disabilities are involved in every aspect of society and have the freedom and opportunity to control their own lives. We believe society is made stronger when all of its members have the opportunity to contribute. Governed and staffed by a majority of people with disabilities, LCCIL provides advocacy and services that promote a fully accessible society.
Founded in Lake County in 1990 by people with disabilities, for people with disabilities and expanded to serve the McHenry County area in 2012. We are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. We exist to ensure that all people with disabilities have the tools they need to live independently. We are governed and staffed by a majority of people with disabilities.
