The purpose of service delivery at the Dayle McIntosh Center (DMC) is to provide assistance that will facilitate both individual and community options for independent living. Most DMC programs were developed as a result of requests from people with disabilities, who defined gaps in services to address needs in their lives.  

Assistance available through the center is grouped into five major categories: Support Services, Skills Training, Transition Assistance, Services for the Deaf, and Community Services.

Support Services

Often, people with disabilities need support to achieve independence. 

Whether help is need to learn to use assistive technology, find a caregiver, or cope with adjusting to a disability, DMC offers an array of supportive services, which includes:
