ABILITIES IN MOTION is dedicated to advancing the rights of persons with disabilities in order to promote a full life in the community through the prevention and elimination of physical, psychological, social and attitudinal barriers which serve to deny them the rights and privileges common to the general public. The essence of the Independent Living movement and its concepts are being proven daily by more and more people with severe disabilities as they choose to resume the responsibilities of directing their own lives by becoming active, contributing participants in the mainstream of their communities.
Mission Statement: The mission of ABILITIES IN MOTION, as a Center for Independent Living, is to help people determine their own individual lifestyle, based on personal choice, from a wide spectrum of acceptable alternatives. The staff draws upon their own experiences of living with a disability, as well as professional training.
