INFORMATION + REFERRALS

Contact Carrie Benchich, Information and Referral Specialist carrie@dnlakeshore.org

Disability Network/Lakeshore provides Information and Referral PLUS, meaning we not only give you ideas about where to call to access the resources you need, but also help you understand how a given organization works and what role you can play in order to be successful in your request. We are happy to answer any questions that you may have over the phone or through a personal appointment.

We use our database and community contacts to assist with various topics, including:

  • Options for public and private transportation
  • Employment related concerns
  • Accessibility at home and in the community
  • Understanding Social Security and state disability options
  • Resources for assistive technology such as hearing aids, computer technology, wheelchairs and adaptive equipment
  • Information about the Assistive Technology Loan Fund
  • Accessible housing options including rental, home ownership and support available
