| The Northeast Independent Living Program, Inc. is a consumer controlled Independent Living Center providing Advocacy and Services to people with all disabilities in the greater Merrimack Valley who wish to live independently in the community.
Throughout all of our Programs and Services are interwoven, at a minimum, the four basic core services required by law to be classified as an ILC. They are Information and Referral, Peer Counseling, Skills Training and Advocacy. A description of each of the services follows:
- Information and Referral - NILP provides Information and Referral to persons with disabilities, service providers, families and community members on disability and independent living topics and issues; and, referral assistance to link individuals with appropriate organizations, services and resources.
- Peer Counseling - One of NILP's strongest points is that a majority of our staff have disabilities and serve as role models to consumers, providing information and support, and facilitating decision making.
- Skills Training - Training activities which focus on consumer skill development to achieve or increase independence.
- Advocacy - A service process emphasizing consumer control and self-reliance. An array of approaches aimed at assisting persons with disabilities to take charge or the life choices, act on their own behalf, and overcome situations that reduce the potential for independence.
