Does it seem impossible to navigate through all of the information on disability services to find what you need? Do you have trouble determining what supports might be available to you or your family member? Do you ever wonder how to get assistance with finding a place to live, work, or go to school? Then these resource guides may be helpful for you.
Region 10 Quality Assurance staff recently developed resource guides to inform families and professionals about resources available for children and adults with disabilities in Minnesota. These guides include access to a wide range of internet-based information that will help individuals live and work as independently as possible including financial resources, disability funding sources, health care, education, specific supports and services, and more.
The links to the resource guides for adults and children are found below, click “Adult Resource Guide” or “Children Resource Guide”:
