4/17/24 – Fighting the good fight “to ensure disability advocates have a seat at the table, to ensure Independent Living Centers are truly protected, and to ensure the essential function of Independent Living Centers as Fiscal Intermediaries is protected.”

Thank you so much to our dedicated and brave staff members who have spent days in Albany tirelessly trying to preserve the CDPA Program and the vital role of STIC as an FI! And special thanks to Sue Lang Hoyt for the fantastic photos!

Imagine a world that is accessible to everyone -where no barriers to independence exist; where you’re allowed to be yourself and free to let your disability be just one more part of you. Together we can shape this world. Join the Independent Living (R)evolution! Our unity can be a potent force for change.

In addition to providing services, the Southern Tier Independence Center is a gathering place for people and information. Our joint efforts in understanding the issues and concerns of people with disabilities can pave the way to this more accessible world.

The Center believes that people have the right to be responsible for making their own choices. By working with you rather than for you, we respect your ability to know what’s best for you.

If any of our services seem like a good option for you, we’d like to meet you! All services are free unless otherwise indicated.

Can you collaborate performing as a team, each member applying their particular talents and insights to the challenge at hand, keeping sight of the overall goal? This isn’t a board room meeting on “team building”, This is the test: Time to Function. Get yourselves some bragging rights. Think yourselves out of the big box. Simon Says: Assemble your team, and have some hands-on fun.

Cost is per player – minimum is 4 players to book a room and can have up to 8 players maximum players. Whether you have 2 players or 3 players, you must pay for at least 4 spots to reserve a room. Other players can join you unless you purchase all spots. We suggest everyone start with VALLEY of the KINGS or LAST PHARAOH STANDING first.
