Transforming thinking to
improve the environment and quality of life for people with disabilities
Welcome
Disability Network Capital Area is your community resource. We serve Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, and Shiawassee counties.
We combine experience and peer support in delivering services to people with disabilities and their families. On a larger scale, we partner with community agencies, schools, and businesses to improve quality of life. Services are provided onsite and at various community locations.
For individuals with disabilities and the aging population, entering and exiting houses can pose challenges, especially due to obstacles like steps. Accessibility is crucial for everyone, and with an increasing number of people requiring assistance, prioritizing accessibility becomes imperative.

Testimonials
“I like Travel Training because I learn a lot. I learned how to schedule a ride with Spectran to get to a job or go places in the community. My favorite places to go during Travel Training were Speedway or Disability Network. I like to go to work. I like Abbey and she was helpful with my Travel Training.”
“I Sarah, am extremely grateful to Maricela she helped me find a place to live. I came here to find help, I am disabled and lived in my car. Thank you for your help and everything you do.”
M. Durfee
“On 8/27, I met Shane and Maricela for a Benefits Planning meeting. Their meeting with me showed me how to improve my income and move forward with my life. I have hope I can work part-time, I want to work so my 10 year old son and I can move out of my uncle’s house. I feel I am ready to start working.”
Joseph Koester
“Joseph Koester is a consumer that comes to class every week. He loves to come and do art projects with his friends, but his favorite thing to do is learn more things about technology and how to do cool things on his computer and tablet!”
