About Us

Disability Network Oakland & Macomb is a Center for Independent Living. Independent Living changes attitudes, expands community options, removes barriers, and increases choice.

Independent Living provides people with disabilities the opportunity to pursue a course of action and the freedom to exercise choices.

Independent living is about having choices and about having the right to make those choices, to make one's own mistakes, and to learn from them in the same way that people without disabilities can. People with disabilities must be empowered to take control over their own lives.

We value choice and self-determination.
