Independent living philosophy promotes the full inclusion and participation of people with disabilities in work, family, and community life. People with disabilities expect and deserve equal access to social, economic and political opportunities. A commitment to dignity, freedom, and choice for people with disabilities drives SEMCIL’s delivery of independent living services, programs, and activities.
