Walton Options for Independent Living: Promoting Equality, Inclusion, and Independence for the Disability Community
Walton Options for Independent Living is a non-profit organization that has been serving the disability community since 1994. The organization's mission is to promote equality, inclusion, and independence through personal choice, community access, education & employment for the disability community.
The organization was founded by a group of individuals with disabilities who recognized the need for an independent living center in their area. They wanted to create an organization that would empower people with disabilities to live independently and participate fully in their communities.
Today, Walton Options serves over 1 million people with disabilities across Georgia and South Carolina. The organization provides a wide range of services and programs designed to help people with disabilities achieve their goals and live life on their own terms.
