Attendant Services for People With Disabilities | Paraquad, Inc.
Resource Name:Attendant Services for People With Disabilities | Paraquad, Inc.
Paraquad champions equity and independence for people with disabilities through services, partnerships, education, and advocacy. Founded in 1970, Paraquad became one of the first Centers for Independent Living (CIL) in 1979. CILs are community-based nonprofit organizations led by people with disabilities that provide five core services for people with disabilities: information and referral, peer support, independent living skills training, advocacy, and transition services (from institutional settings to community living and from youth to adulthood). We have implemented additional programs, such as the Home Modifications program, and the Bloom Culinary Training program, to create one of the most robust CILs in the country.
