   At no cost to the individual, we serve with the purpose of increasing the ability of people with disabilities to become productive, contributing and self-directing members of society.
   We also educate businesses, service providers and public entities on disability issues and help them to comply with the technical requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and other disability related laws and standards.
   RAMP is funded by Federal and State grants, service organizations, corporate donations, special events, community organizations and individual contributions. RAMP is also a member agency of the Boone County United Way, Northwest Illinois United Way and DeKalb United Way.
