Information and Referral

Ability1st recognizes the importance of connecting individuals with disabilities to the right resources, services, and supports they need to thrive in their communities. Our Information and Referral Core Service serves as a crucial bridge between persons with disabilities and a wide network of community resources, organizations, and agencies specially tailored to meet their diverse needs.

Service Overview

Our Information and Referral service is designed to provide information on a wide array of resources that are critical for individuals living with disabilities. This service includes:

  • Community Resources: Guidance on accessing local services, programs, and support designed to enhance the quality of life for persons with disabilities.
  • Organizational Referrals: Connections to other organizations and agencies that offer specialized services, including healthcare, employment, education, and recreational opportunities.
  • Assistance Programs: Information on eligibility and application processes for assistance programs that can provide financial, medical, housing, and other types of support.

How It Works

  1. Personalized Consultations: Begin with a one-on-one consultation with our knowledgeable staff, who will listen to your needs and goals.
  2. Tailored Recommendations: Receive recommendations tailored to your specific situation, including detailed information on how to access these resources.
  3. Ongoing Support: Our team provides follow-up support to ensure you successfully connect with the recommended resources and to assist with any additional inquiries.
