Independent Living

The door to freedom. The path to joy.

Since 1988, MyCIL (Northeast PA Center for Independent Living) has been helping people with disabilities. Through education, information and advocacy, our clients live proactive, independent lives.

Over 51% of our own staff have disabilities. We know first-hand how important the freedom to choose is.

As a MyCIL client, you benefit from our five core services:

Advocacy ? On your behalf, we advocate for independent living, rights and benefits, resolution of individual problems and better access to society.

Skills Training ? Through individualized training that focuses on your daily living needs, we can help you achieve social and economic independence.

Information and Referral ? You can tap into the knowledge and access key resources that range from architectural accessibility and communication aids to civil rights and housing.

Peer Consultation ? By exploring options with a skilled advisor who has a disability, you can set and reach independent living goals.

Transitional Services ? At our state-of-the-art Transitional Skills Center, we help young people with disabilities ? ages 14-21 ? develop the skills

they need to pursue additional education after high school, enter the workforce or achieve independent living.
