AIM Independent Living Center, more commonly known as AIM, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to people with disabilities, ... their families and friends, the businesses that serve them, and those with an interest in disabilities. AIM's mission is to support an individual’s ability to make independent, self-directing choices through education, advocacy, information and referral. AIM is part of the international movement of independent living and has been in business for more than 30 years. As an independent living center, AIM provides four core services: Peer counseling; information and referral; independent living skills; and individual and systems advocacy. These core services support many programs and services under the AIM umbrella. AIM turns no one from its doors. All disabilities are welcome. There is no economic or other qualifying requirement. The Board of Directors and the staff of AIM are predominantly individuals with disabilities; they act then as peers to our consumers and have a fuller understanding of what it means to live the life of an individual with disability. read more
