Disability Network helps coordinate the many different supports people with disabilities need to live as independently as possible.

Tailored to the individual, the supports we advocate may include:

  • Case management and /or referrals for individualized services, supports, and/or treatment
  • Job development, training, and supervision for supported employment
  • Community living supports to increase or maintain self-sufficiency
  • Counseling and/or mental health care
  • Transportation services that are key to success in education, employment, and community participation
  • Guidance for individuals and families evaluating housing options
  • Respite services for caretakers
  • Information for families planning their child’s transition to adult services, such as government benefits, guardianship, wills and trusts, and other adult issues
