Independence is our mission.

Your life. Your decisions.

At the Resource Center for Independent Living (RCIL), we believe that to live independently you don't need permission, you need resources.

At RCIL, we provide real solutions to the personal, social or governmental barriers that may prevent your decisions from being respected and realized. We have four decades of experience in providing individually tailored advocacy, information, and training services.

RCIL believes that the widespread poverty, segregation, and isolation of people with disabilities is unacceptable, should not be tolerated, and requires change.

With support from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, LIFE at RCIL worked with local individuals living with paralysis and local emergency management professionals to put together a new website with resources to help individuals living with paralysis, their families, and their caregivers plan and prepare for the types of emergencies that are most likely to occur in the Mohawk Valley region of New York. We hope you find these resources helpful!
