Disability Action Center NW

Disability Action Center NW is a non-profit advocacy center that has been in operation since 1990. They have an extremely diverse and adaptable board of directors and staff. These people form a partnership with the community, and work to promote the independence and equality of individuals with disabilities in all aspects of society. Independent Living means that we demand the same choices and control in our everyday lives that our non-disabled brothers and sisters, neighbors and friends take for granted. We all want to grow up in our families, go to the neighborhood school, use the same bus as our neighbors, work in jobs that are in line with our education and interests, and start families of our own. Disability Action Center NW works for changes at the community, state, and national levels to remove physical, communication, and attitude barriers for people with disabilities. Their goal is to gain community support for independence, include people with disabilities in community life, and remove barriers. DAC NW has three offices located in Moscow, Lewiston and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. They offer a variety of services from peer-to-peer independent living support, medical equipment exchange, help with self-advocacy, and access to assistive technology. DAC NW is building community, achieving equality and creating independence in an accessible world. DAC NW is helping you take action!
