Independent Living and Life Skills Training

CORIL's on-site Computer Lab is designed with you in mind. It has been our experience that the typical educational setting sets the pace of their classes to be noncompatible with the needs of a person with a disability. Each lesson will be completed within your learning style. That means the pace will be set by you!
