Access Alaska is a private, non-profit, consumer-controlled organization that provides independent living services to elder Alaskans and Alaskans who experience a disability.  As an Independent Living Center, our mission is to encourage and promote the total integration of people who experience a disability to live independently in the community of their choice.  To accomplish this mission Access Alaska provides numerous services such as:  adaptive equipment loan, consumer directed personal attendant services, home accessibility modifications, independent living skills instruction, youth transition from school to work and many more.  Access Alaska has been providing these services for over 25 years assisting thousands of Alaskans and their families .  A consumer controlled non-profit with a philosophy of personal choice, dignity, empowerment, and continued independence touches all Alaskans.
