INDIVIDUAL ADVOCACY
Knowledge and skills creates power to solve problems and achieve goals. LINK staff provide
knowledge and skill training and support to help the consumer self-advocate. LINK will assist you with tactics or techniques to advocate for yourself and,
if necessary, act as an advocate to resolve access, service or integration issues with others. When appropriate,
LINK staff can perform the role of a lay-advocate to express the interest of a consumer.
This includes special education, housing issues, etc.
SYSTEMS ADVOCACY
Staff advocates work to assure enforcement of disability rights laws and improve life for
people with disabilities at the local, state and federal level. Our advocates work collaboratively
with consumers, staff, business leaders, politicians and other organizations to improve access, service and integration for all
people with disabilities.
LEGAL ADVOCACY
Legal staff is available upon referral by staff for consultation about legal issues.
Individual representation is available on a limited basis for disability related
concerns. Fees for services are established on an individual basis.
DE_INSTITUTIONALIZATION
LINK will assist you or your loved one in moving out of a nursing facility, institution or restrictive
environment into your own home. Our services will help you if you are at risk of entering into an institution or nursing facility if you wish
to remain in your own home.
