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.
