Disability Law Center Focus Group: DSBVI Survey

Disability Law Center Focus Group: DSBVI

Hello! The Disability Law Center is in the process of goal planning for the next two years. This is an opportunity for us to revisit the work we are already doing and plan out what we would like to accomplish. As part of this process we like to reach out to various disability communities to get feedback on what issues people are experiencing and how we can better serve the community. All answers you provide us are anonymous and will help guide our goal planning. The more details you provide, the better we will understand the issues faced by the community. We appreciate your partnership in this process. Thank you!
