Economic self-sufficiency is a goal for everyone.  Disability Network provides support to persons with disabilities seeking to obtain or retain employment in the following ways:

  • Referrals to Michigan Rehabilitation Services and Michigan Commission for the Blind. These agencies provide vocational (job) counseling service aimed at reducing barriers to employment for people with significant disabilities.
  • Counseling for people who receive SSI or SSDI who want to return to work but are unsure of how employment will impact their benefits through our Benefits Planning services.  We can be reached at at (269) 345-1516.
  • Information about your rights and responsibilities in the employment process. Our Disability Rights Advocate, Paul Ecklund, is available to help you understand your rights for a reasonable accommodation, what to do if you think you’ve been discriminated against, and more.  Contact Paul at (269) 345-1516 x 117.
