The Vermont Center for Independent Living (VCIL) is a nonprofit directed and staffed by people with disabilities.
"VCIL was founded in 1979 and is the only Center for Independent Living (CIL) in Vermont. We serve all of Vermont. We were the first organization in the state, with a majority of board and staff with disabilities. At this time, 80% of our staff and 92% of our board are people with significant disabilities. We understand what it takes to help others.
VCIL’s central office is in Montpelier with five branch offices in Bennington, Brattleboro, Burlington, Morrisville and Rutland."
"The Community Access Program provides technical assistance to peers, businesses, and state and local governments toward understanding and implementing the accessibility regulations in the Americans with Disabilities Act. We provide training on rights and responsibilities under the ADA and support in resolving or forwarding violation complaints to the proper entity to resolve. VCIL is Vermont’s ADA technical assistance and training provider through funding from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research."
