Independent Living Skills Training –IL Skills Training involves assisting the individual to develop necessary daily living skills essential to increase independence. Using public transit, learning budgeting, living well and using assistive technology woudlb e just a few examples of skills which are emphasized.

Not all disabilities are visible. Many people live with invisible disabilities that aren't immediately apparent, but their experiences are just as real. Together, we can build greater understanding through awareness and inclusion.

🍦💙 Honoring the Vision of Chris Lloyd 💙🍦

Today, each office came together with their own Ice Cream Social to honor and remember our founder, Chris Lloyd, and to reflect on the incredible vision and legacy Chris created.

Chris founded Disability Options Network (DON) in 2002, creating a Center for Independent Living that championed the rights of people with disabilities to choose how they live. In 2006, he created DON Services, Inc. to help provide additional resources and expand the reach of DON’s mission.

Today, DON continues to grow and serve communities across the region because of the foundation Chris built and the vision he believed in.

Without Chris’s vision, DON would not be where it is today. His commitment to independence, opportunity, and community continues to guide all that we do. 💙

We are grateful for his vision, his leadership, and the lasting legacy he left behind.
