Disability Network

Description

Persons with disabilities and many seniors rely on committed, competent workers to provided needed services in their homes and in the community. We are facing a growing labor shortage of people willing to provide this care. Some estimate that by 2010, Michigan will need an additional 40,000 home health aides, certified nursing assistants, and personal care attendants in order to meet the needs of our aging population.

Disability Network/Michigan is dedicated to serving our members. On these pages you can find useful information and links.

AAPD - American Association of People with Disabilities is the largest nonprofit cross disability member organization in the U.S.

Most people equate disability with limitations. But it's our job to change the perceptions and realities that prevent people with disabilities from sharing in the community. Disabilty Network/Michigan represents the 15 Centers for Independent Living across Michigan. We provide training, mentoring, and referrals to help people with disabilities and their families live productive lives. Because disability touches so many people, we also work on a larger scale, helping governments and businesses make changes that benefit not just those with disabilities, but everyone in the community.
