Independent Living
We come alongside individuals of all ages with any disability to help them gain the skills and service they need to remain in their homes and communities.
Our Independent Living services
We believe that core values and beliefs are meaningless without action to back them up. At The League for the Blind & Disabled, when we value something or someone, we will always respond accordingly.

Advocacy
Our advocacy efforts are focused on helping individuals, communities, and systems change for the better to allow full access and inclusion for everyone. We help individuals with disabilities deal with difficult personal issues, teach them to advocate and become engaged in their communities, and work to influence laws and policies at all levels.
Independent Living Skills Training
This program helps you to gain the personal living skills needed to remain in your home and community setting by:
- Assisting you in transitioning and staying out of institutions
- Teaching you new skills for performing personal and household tasks
- Educating you on knowing your rights and advocating for yourself
Case Coordination
Case coordination is a process that involves assessments, planning, implementation, coordination, monitoring and evaluation to meet the needs of the people with disabilities we serve. Our goal is to see the people we serve become successfully independent and self-reliant so they can safely stay in their homes and communities.
