ADANC_Official

Alliance of Disability Advocates (ADANC) is a federally recognized Center for Independent Living (CIL) established in 1999. 

The goal of our work is to “promote a philosophy of independent living including a philosophy of consumer control, peer support, self-help, self-determination, equal access, and individual and system advocacy, in order to maximize the leadership, empowerment, independence, and productivity of individuals with disabilities, and the integration and full inclusion of individuals with disabilities into the mainstream of American society.” 

By design, CILs are consumer-controlled, community-based, cross-disability, non-residential private non-profit agencies that serve their surrounding communities.
