Independent Living simply known as the IL Movement has its roots from the 1960s during the United States consumer and civil rights movement. It has grown out from the Disability Rights Movement and even continued to flourish as a social organization that advocates for the rights of disabled people to be treated fairly in the society.

This association upholds the rights of the disabled victims of the civil rights war to get equal opportunities from all other institutions in the American society. Throughout the years, the IL Movement has been looked up to by advocates and volunteers as a pressure group with a unique yet a very strong conviction towards social equality.

Independent Living believes that even people with disability can do their tasks even without getting too much special attention from their normal contemporaries. In fact, the IL Movement postulates that there are disabled people that could be a lot better than those who have none in performing certain tasks. Why is this? Members of the IL Movement uphold the conviction that disabled people are the best for their chores and undertakings. If a disabled individual could do his tasks completely as a normally-capacitated person does, this could only connote a “hindered but doubled” effort on the part of the under capacitated one.

Furthermore, Independent Living works for a more positive regard from the entirety of the society. They want people to change their negative perceptions about people with disability. They demand people to leave their unsound impressions on persons with disability that they are either sick or a liability to society. All they want to get is the kind of impression which normal people get from others.
