Mission Statement: “The Topeka Independent Living Resource Center (TILRC) is a civil and human rights organization. Our mission is to advocate for justice, equality and essential services for a fully integrated and accessible society for all people with disabilities.” 

At TILRC we believe that people with any types of disabilities have a right to equal access to public services and accommodations. People with disabilities have a right to exercise and exert choice and self-determination in all areas of life. People with disabilities have a right to be accommodated in employment, housing, transportation, recreation and communication.

TILRC has a goal to provide the highest quality resources, advocacy and services possible. We continue our forward-thinking approach in working to offer the best possible resources for people with disabilities and their families.
