DIRECTLY FOR AGING & PHYSICAL DISABILITY

ADRC Branding & Strengthening (Aging) Aging & Disability Resource Center/Network Intended to include all disability groups/services Only Aging services are always included All 13 areas have been different, need some uniformity or at least

standards Need to include the array of disability groups/services Intended to help services work better together Extend Options Counseling principles wider & deeper
