Regional
Access & Mobilization Project (RAMP) is North Central
Illinois' Center for Independent Living. RAMP's mission is to
promote an accessible society that allows and expects full
participation by people with disabilities.
RAMP
is based upon "peers assisting peers". Accordingly,
51% or more of the staff and Board of Directors of RAMP are
people with disabilities.
To
accurately represent the relationship between staff and the
people we serve, those who use RAMP's services are referred to
as consumers, rather than as clients. We will not do things to
foster dependence on us or anyone else. Rather, we expect our
consumers to actively participate in the process of meeting
their needs and ultimately learning to do for themselves.
RAMP
serves Boone, DeKalb, Stephenson and Winnebago County in North
Central Illinois from offices in DeKalb, Freeport and
Rockford.
