Q: What do you mean by “Living Well With A Disability?”

A: What does living well with a disability mean to you? Perhaps it’s being able to cook a big meal for your family, play baseball with your kids, obtain employment, or drive your first accessible van. Or maybe you dream of playing competitive sports, working out at a fitness center, flying a plane or climbing a mountain. Regardless of your goals, the Living Well With A Disability program was developed to open the doors to new opportunities and resources that you may not have envisioned. It has been established by people with disabilities, for people with disabilities to achieve goals, meet challenges, fulfill dreams and ultimately, live well.

Q: If I want to participate and “Live Well,” what happens first?

A: A Living Well With A Disability specialist will, using the copyrighted Living Well With A Disability check-up instrument, guide you through a multi-faceted lifestyle self-evaluation.
