Disability Action Center NW is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing support and resources to individuals with disabilities in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The organization was founded on the belief that everyone deserves equal access to opportunities, regardless of their physical or mental abilities.
At Disability Action Center NW, we understand that living with a disability can be challenging, and we are committed to helping our clients overcome these challenges by providing them with the tools they need to live full and independent lives. Our team of experienced professionals works closely with each client to develop personalized plans that address their unique needs and goals.
One of the key services we offer at Disability Action Center NW is advocacy.

Whether it's advocating for better accessibility in public spaces or fighting for fair treatment in the workplace, our team is always ready to stand up for what's right.
In addition to advocacy, Disability Action Center NW also offers a wide range of other services designed specifically for individuals with disabilities. These include:
- Independent Living Skills Training: We provide training in areas such as personal care, household management, budgeting, transportation planning, and more.
- Assistive Technology Services: We help our clients identify and obtain assistive technology devices such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, communication devices, and more.
- Information & Referral Services: We connect our clients with other organizations and resources in their communities that can provide additional support.
- Peer Support Groups: We facilitate peer support groups where individuals with disabilities can connect with others who share similar experiences.
At Disability Action Center NW, we believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute to society. That's why we also offer employment services designed specifically for individuals with disabilities. Our Employment Specialists work with clients to identify their strengths and interests, develop job search strategies, and provide ongoing support once they are employed.
