Persons with disabilities are entitled to the same civil rights, options, and control over their lives as persons without disabilities. ILRC (Independent Living Resource Center) empowers individuals with temporary or permanent disabilities by providing assistance in locating internal or external resources to live more independently.
While we do not provide housing, ILRC helps individuals, their families, and caregivers find resources and choose the best options for more independent living. We do this in a variety of ways guided by our five core services:
A free service we provide to listen and provide resources and information about disability issues, assist with programs, and recommend services.
People with disabilities can meet and gain support from others in similar circumstances and socialize with peers individually or in a group as needed
Individual training on improving advocacy skills with opportunities to advocate through letter-writing campaigns and trips to the state capitol to meet with government leaders
We teach classes on cooking, computers, money & home management, transportation, hygiene, social skills, and more!
We assist with the transition of individuals with disabilities from nursing homes and other institutions to home and community-based living
We provide a variety of services, programs, and training to help persons with disabilities to live as independently as possible.
While we’re located in Kansas, anyone nationwide can contact us for help at no cost.
We offer weekly Cooking Class, Computer Class, Arts & Crafts Class, Sewing Class, Life Skills Class (laundry, cleaning, hygiene), Budgeting, and more. Find a class below on our calendar!
