What we are...
We are a community-based, consumer-controlled, cross disability center for independent living, serving the MetroWest area of Massachusetts.
MWCIL is dedicated to working on behalf of the objectives of the disability rights and independent living movements, through the provision of comprehensive services to enhance the range of options available to, and improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities.
Roland Sykes
Today we lost a great patriot and disability advocate, Commander Roland Sykes.
Roland, how will I go on with the struggle with you gone? I know I will go on, a little sadder, but I will go on, because you taught me to believe in our fight for disability rights and freedom for our brothers and sisters. With that belief is the realization that our path ahead is filled with many obstacles and we must move as many as we can, so the next guy will have an easier time moving forward.
Roland, you are my brother, you have helped me through so many difficult times and places, and without you life will be a little sadder, but thanks for sharing part of your life with me, my life is richer for it and I am grateful for the time we had. I am happy to call you my friend, I love you Roland!

About Us
Independent Living Philosophy maintains that individuals with disabilities have the right to choose services that they want to receive and to make decisions about how they live their lives. Consistent with this philosophy, MWCIL assist consumers in achieving the goals that they have set for themselves by providing training, information, and support.
Our Mission
MWCIL's mission is twofold: to help individuals with disabilities become productive and contributing members of the community and to eliminate barriers within the community that impede this process. All core services are free and available to people of all ages and disabilities.
