Benefits Counselling:

DSLC can counsel and assist with disability’ benefit options that are available through local, state and federal programs. As a Center for Independent Living, we focus on Self-Advocacy and Self-Empowerment for consumers who identify as disabled, as well as their own advocates, family and friends. In support of the Independent Living Philosophy, DSLC cannot provide case management.
