Our
Services

Individual Advocacy
We empower people with disabilities to discover and navigate programs for their continued independence.

Systems Advocacy
We help to improve community, state and national policies that affect persons with disabilities.

We provide information and make referrals to help consumers become aware of available resources.

Peer supporters serve as role models as only someone with personal experience with disabilities can do. Staff and consumers share life experiences and bring new ideas and information to facilitate independence. They work one on one and hold regular peer support groups for those interested.

Living with a disability is filled with challenges. Often a different approach may be necessary for independence.

The Center provides training in life skills and in the use of adaptive devices and introduction to new advances in assistive technology that can enhance independent living.
