ABOUT US
You Deserve to Be Heard.
Navigating disability benefits, services, and systems can feel overwhelming. Disability Resource Services is here to help make the process easier to understand. We have received both federal and state specific training through the Wisconsin Disability Benefits Network (WBDN). Although state specific training is not required by DVR, we view it as vital in order to provide you with up to date information on state benefits like Medicaid and FoodShare.
OUR SERVICES
Benefits Counseling
Understanding your benefits shouldn't be overwhelming.
Our benefits specialists help individuals understand any changes that will happen to their disability benefits when they start working. We will help you maximize your work earnings and disability benefits so you have the highest possible income each month and help you keep the other benefits you need.
Disability Advocacy
Your voice matters.
We provide individualized advocacy and support to help individuals understand their rights, communicate their needs, and navigate the different systems out there.
Resource Navigation
Finding the right resources can make all the difference.
We help individuals identify the right programs, services, and community resources that support their personal, financial, employment, or everyday needs.
Resource Connection
You don't have to find the right resources alone.
Connecting individuals with community programs, organizations, and services that can provide meaningful support is one of our specialties. We help make finding the right resources easier.
