We will advocate for you as a member of the community. We can help you understand your civil rights and responsibilities when dealing with the government, your employer, or other service providers, and we can help you stand up for those rights if you feel you are being treated unfairly.
We can help you learn skills to increase and maintain your independence. We want to help you identify and work toward your goals, and we’ll help you put together a plan to succeed.
We can provide information about community resources that can help you accomplish your personal goals. Some examples are: acquiring and learning to use assistive technology; understanding and signing up for Medicare, Medicaid, Medicaid waivers, and Social Security; and finding accessible housing.
Over half our employees have some type of disability. As you work to become more independent yourself, we can share with you our own experiences having a disability, encountering and overcoming barriers to our independence, and how we’ve become advocates for ourselves and for others.
Our staff assists High-school age youth with disabilities with their transition into college and/or the workforce. We also assist consumers with disabilities in their efforts to transition to a less restrictive living environment that is able to meet their daily needs within their community of choice.
