Disability Rights & Resources: Empowering People with Disabilities
Disability Rights & Resources is a non-profit organization that aims to empower people with disabilities by providing them with the necessary resources and support to live independently and achieve their goals. The organization was founded on the belief that everyone, regardless of their abilities, should have equal opportunities to participate in society and pursue their dreams.
At Disability Rights & Resources, we are committed to creating a fully inclusive community where people with disabilities can live, work, and thrive. Our mission is to promote independence, self-determination, and full participation in all aspects of life for individuals with disabilities.

2. Independent Living Skills Training: We provide training on various independent living skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, transportation planning etc., which help individuals lead an independent life.

Our Approach
At Disability Rights & Resources we believe that every person has unique strengths and abilities which should be recognized and celebrated rather than focusing on limitations imposed by disability alone.
We take a person-centered approach to our services, which means that we work with each individual to identify their goals and develop a plan that is tailored to their specific needs. We believe in empowering individuals with disabilities by providing them with the tools and resources they need to live independently and achieve their dreams.
