Northern Regional Center for Independent Living (NRCIL) is a community-based, disability rights and resource center. Founded in 1987 with a grant from the New York State Education Department, we are part of a network of 41 independent living centers in New York State.
NRCIL is a consumer-controlled, community-based, cross-disability, non-residential, non-medical center. We provide information and advocacy resources to people with disabilities of all ages in the North Country including individuals, family members, caregivers and community advocates. NRCIL encourages people to maximize their personal independence through its peer-to-peer philosophy. By law, by choice and by design, the majority of our staff and board members are people with disabilities themselves. This is one of the ways we ensure consumer-control. Advocacy and the development of independent, community-based living skills are the hallmarks of our programs. NRCIL works to remove physical, perceptual and attitudinal barriers. People are empowered by self-determination. Supporting and empowering individuals to make decisions affecting their lives is our primary objective.
