Members of the Civics League for Disability Rights (CLDR) recently achieved several important victories for CLDR and Independence Care System (ICS) members, including ensuring accessibility to A+D Ointment as a moisture barrier cream and securing additional catheters for members to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Independence Care System (ICS) has been recognized as a 2021 Leading Disability Employer by the National Organization on Disability (NOD), a significant honor and the first in the organization’s 20-plus year history.
As the world begins to return to normalcy during the coronavirus pandemic, Independence Care System (ICS) members have enjoyed visiting the renowned Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) after the museum partnered with ICS to offer free individual annual passes.
“The Virtual Social Program was absolutely amazing,” said Independence Care System (ICS) member Cathy Kiler-McFadden. “I learned so many things, and connected with many people. It was so well done and so adaptive.”
In what made for an educational experience, Independence Care System (ICS) members attended a workshop hosted by The Moth and Center for Independence of the Disabled, NY (CIDNY), where they learned about the art of storytelling and how to effectively communicate their personal stories.
