Spirit of
Independence Award
The mission of Westchester Disabled On the
Move, Inc. (WDOMI), a non-residential Independent Living Center for people with
disabilities, is to: empower people with disabilities to control their own
lives; advocate for civil rights and a barrier-free society; encourage people
with disabilities to participate in the political process; educate government,
business, other entities, and society as a whole to understand, accept, and
accommodate people with disabilities; and create an environment that inspires
self-respect.
This mission has led us to establish the
Spirit of Independence Award to be presented during the month of October,
Disability Awareness Month. The Spirit of Independence Award is presented to an
individual/entity who/which has contributed significantly to efforts that
promote and enhance independence for people with disabilities.
