Our
Mission
Our mission is to promote independent living by providing services and resources that enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities living in Virginia’s Northern Shenandoah Valley.
Our
Vision
We have the vision of a barrier-free community for all individuals to achieve their greatest potential.
Our Values
We live our values;
We are people with disabilities empowering people with disabilities;
We believe in being ethical and having integrity;
We believe in treating people with respect and dignity;
We believe in the principles of equal rights, access, and opportunities for all.
Our History
In 1985, Access Independence (Ai) was formed as one of seventeen Centers for Independent Living (CILs) in Virginia. Ai began providing independent living skills training, peer mentoring, information and referral, and advocacy services to the counties of Clarke, Frederick, Page, Shenandoah, Warren, and the City of Winchester.  Ai has served thousands of residents, throughout the region, with disability related issues and provided thousands of hours supporting and educating our community on disability related topics.
Invisible Disabilities
Invisible
disabilities,
also
known
as
non-apparent disabilities, are conditions that are not immediately visible but can significantly impact an individual’s daily life and activities.
Invisible disabilities encompass a wide range of physical, mental, and neurological conditions that are not outwardly apparent.
Individuals with invisible disabilities often face skepticism and misunderstanding from others. Common misconceptions include the belief that if a disability is not visible, it does not exist.
By acknowledging the existence and impact of invisible disabilities, we can create a more supportive environment for everyone, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of the
visibility
of their disabilities, are treated with respect and understanding.
“Access Independence, Inc.
is
supported in part,
by a grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia,
and
the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS).”

In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is common placeholder text used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as web pages, typography, and graphical layout. It is a form of "greeking".
Even though using "lorem ipsum" often arouses curiosity due to its resemblance to classical Latin, it is not intended to have meaning. Where text is visible in a document, people tend to focus on the textual content rather than upon overall presentation, so publishers use lorem ipsum when displaying a typeface or design in order to direct the focus to presentation. "Lorem ipsum" also approximates a typical distribution of letters in English.
