Independent Living Services

The ILA website is open for business 24/7, 365 days a year.

Independent Living Aids is the oldest, privately-held, direct marketing/distribution company in the United States of products for people who are blind or have low vision. For more than 33 years, ila has provided this community with quality products.

Our goal is to help our customers remain independent. Each item we carry is chosen because it offers features that make it easier to use by individuals with vision problems. Some items have LARGE print, many talk, others have tactile markings, Braille, or are just easy to use.

We have also expanded our product line for deaf and hard-of-hearing customers, with the acquisition of SoundBytes. We carry a comprehensive selection of popular, well- designed items to assist users in conversation, on the telephone, watching television, and other daily activities. We are also increasing our selection of "crossover" products for individuals with both a hearing and vision loss. Hearing loss can cause feelings of isolation and depression, and, as the population ages and more people lose their hearing, our simple, specially adaptive products can help many people communicate easily and therefore enjoy life more!

We ship to all 50 states and throughout the world using either standard shipping, overnight, or expedited delivery upon request. Having packages delivered to your home, rather than going to stores, makes useful products available to you in the comfort and safety of your home.

If you need additional information about an item you find on our site, our outstanding customer service representatives are happy to assist you. Just call.

We can also send you bimonthly e-mails that include bits of informative and newsworthy tidbits plus specials on very attractive products. To sign up to receive these e-mails, use the signup box on the right.
