Below is the mission which guides the activities of the CyberCIL of Arizona.
The mission of CyberCIL of Arizona is to provide innovative, meaningful assistance in accordance with the principles and philosophy of independent living to, and on behalf of, Arizonans with disabilities so that they may attain or continue an independent lifestyle.
Independent Living has a short, but proud history based on strong principles. Chief among those principles is Consumer Control-the belief that people with disabilities must exercise power and authority over the programs and services designed to assist them.
CyberCIL of Arizona embraces the principles of independent living in the development of its service model without regard for the barriers faced in cyberspace. In fact, the center and its Board of Directors welcomes the challenge of constructing futuristic models on the sturdy framework of past leaders.
