We are here to assist people with disabilities to get connected to the community, resources, ideas, and opportunities for leading and pursing a better life of their own choosing.
DISABILITY CONNECTIONS' MISSION:
To enable all people with disabilities to attain and have access to all opportunities in life.
DC is a non-profit charitable organization accepting a wide variety of funding to serve consumers and impact our communities. DC is governed and staffed by a majority of people with different types of significant disabilities. This is what we mean by consumer controlled. The Middle Georgia Center for Independent Living, Inc. (d.b.a. Disability Connections) was incorporated in 1995 and has been providing services nearly twenty years to all ages of people with all types of disabilities in the Middle Georgia area.
