History

OPTIONS for Independence (formerly Cache Handicapped Action Council – CHAC) was founded in 1981 and began providing services. In 1983, it officially became a private, nonprofit corporation. After many years of advocacy on behalf of people with disabilities in Northern Utah, CHAC became OPTIONS for Independence, the Northern Utah Center for Independent Living. The Center was founded on the belief that all people matter and people with disabilities should have the same opportunities and civil rights as everyone else.

Philosophy

Independent living means an individual makes their life decisions and controls daily life. While being able to care for oneself and living on one's own physically may be elements of independent living for many people, independent living is not defined strictly in terms of physical self-sufficiency or living situation. The main factor is that the person with the disability (not family, friends, or professionals) exercises control and makes choices. Independent living implies responsibility by the person with the disability to assume control of their lives and make choices, and take actions resulting in desired changes.
