About

NWGA Center For Independent Living is a non-profit Organization Established on January 3, 2004. We serve fifteen counties in Northwest Georgia: Bartow, Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Fannin, Floyd, Gilmer, Gordon, Haralson, Murray, Paulding, Pickens, Polk, Walker, and Whitfield.
 

“Nothing about us without us!”
The vast majority of our staff have disabilities. Our core services are independent living skills training, information & referral, peer mentoring, self-advocacy, and transition. We offer several programs to assist our community in a variety of ways. Some of the programs that we offer are home modifications (such as wheelchair ramps), assistive tools and technology, emergency preparedness & weather alert radios for people who are deaf or have hearing impairments. We have a wide variety of assistive technology devices available for demonstration, in partnership with Tools for Life.
