Services
Living Well With A Disability is a free resource
for anyone with any type of disability. Learn what’s available by calling
our Living Well Hotline. You’ll be connected with the service, program
or support you need to turn what you envision into reality. From simple requests
for more information to comprehensive evaluations, we are the one-stop source
for countless resources and endless opportunities to help you live well.
Our no-cost assessments connect you with a qualified, living well
specialist, who will conduct a multi-faceted, lifestyle evaluation. The
assessment will begin to determine the programs, services and support
that are available to you—many of which you may not have known
ever existed. We will make every effort to provide you with a specialist
who shares a similar disability.
All aspects of living well with a disability will be considered. The
list to the right highlights some areas that may be of interest to
