Disability Awareness
The Accessibility Program advocates for individuals with a disability and the deaf community, making sure all county government services are accessible. Active participation in organizations such as the National Organization on Disabilities and the American Deafness and Rehabilitation Association allows the staff to stay up to date on current issues affecting individuals with a disability.
