Connections for Independent Living Details
Our mission is to promote the full inclusion and integration of people with all types of disabilities into all levels of society, working towards independence and equality for people with disabilities. We are a non-residential, consumer-controlled, not for profit Independent Living Center that promotes independent living and the empowerment of all people with disabilities. We challenge barriers both physical and attitudinal, which restrict the rights and personal development opportunities of people with disabilities. We are one of ten certified Independent Living Centers in the State of Colorado, serving individuals in Weld, Morgan, Logan, Washington, Sedgwick, Yuma, and Phillips Counties. Eligibility criteria is simple: A person must have a disability that significantly impacts his or her ability to live independently in the community. Age or type of disability is never cause for ineligibility. Our Core Services include: Advocacy: We can assist and/or represent individuals with disabilities in obtaining access to benefits, services, and programs to which they may be entitled. Information and Referral: Information and referral services to all individuals who need help finding the appropriate community support. Peer Support: Our staff members who have disabilities provide support, teaching, and information sharing with consumers to help in overcoming barriers, handling the stresses of having a disability, and sharing resources helpful in maintaining independence. Independent Living Skills Training: Instruction to develop independent living skills in areas such as personal care, coping, financial management, social skills, and household management. Employment: We offer support in finding and retaining employment. Our staff provides assistance and training in job search techniques, resume writing, and interviewing skills. Housing: Assistance in locating housing that is accessible and affordable.
