How We Advocate

ONE OF DISABILITY NETWORK WEST MICHIGAN’S MAIN GOALS IS TO ADVOCATE FOR THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH DISABILITIES.

We do this by promoting the following topics:

Access for all: Buildings, sidewalks, parks, beaches, and workplace accessibility.
Pre-employment transition services.
Employment: Promoting the hiring of disabled veterans and other individuals with disabilities and the sustained employment of people with disabilities.
ADA Compliance: Facility and workplace accessibility and fair treatment.
Disability Awareness and Inclusion Training: Promoting the advantages of hiring disabled employees, including the dos and don’ts of interacting with someone with a disability and help with assistive technology.
