The Disability Network has dedicated staff for advocacy services. We can help guide you to the resources and processes to ensure you are receiving what you are entitled to receive.
We also operate from the perspective of helping consumers become self-advocates. That means we don’t do things for you, we do them with you.
We assist people with disabilities with understanding their rights, whether it be with regard to Social Security, Medicare Part D, or Medicaid. We have experience advocating in employment, educational, and community settings.
