Since 1994, Walton Options has provided services and resources to help people with all types of disabilities live independently within the community. As a private, non-profit, non-residential Center for Independent Living (CIL), we serve 16 counties in Georgia and 10 counties in South Carolina. Our Core Services include Information & Referral, Independent Living Skills, Institutional Transition, Advocacy & Outreach and Peer Support. We are able to provide these services, information and resources through a variety of federal, state and community partners.
We believe all persons including those with disabilities, should be able to participate in their community. At Walton Options, we promote equality, inclusion and independence through Personal Choice, Personal Responsibility, Community Access, Education and Employment. Our goal is to help each person find and utilize the necessary, available resources on their personal journey to independence.

In 1977, individuals with disabilities organized various protests to urge the signing of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
The largest being at the San Francisco Federal Building in California. The 25-day sit-in began on April 5th and was led by individuals with disabilities, who received major support from the local LA chapter of the Black Panther Party.
This support, along with their determination, gained media attention, which helped to force the government to sign and implement Section 504, marking a significant triumph for the disability rights movement.
