Introduction

Welcome to the directory for resources on disability services and needs. This directory can be used by any individual with or without a disability and by service providers who work or interact with people with disabilities or whom are interested in reading this information. This directory is especially designed for the 18-59 years old group because of the lack of resources for their disability needs. However, I did include some resource information for children with special needs and for elders.

I am doing this directory as a service to my community. As a TV talk show host of Miller Chat (shown on Channel 33 in Shrewsbury and on Channel 13 in Worcester), I want to give my viewers and members of the community information on the various services for people with disabilities in Worcester and surrounding towns. For the last four years, since I have worked with people with disabilities and service providers, I have found that many people just don't know what information is available on disability services. Information seems to be scattered in many other resources and are not specific to disability needs. Furthermore, this directory will not include nursing homes, adult day care centers, and places for rehabilitation because one's primary care doctor is in charge of referring his/her clients there. This directory will include more services for independent living and not on sickness and disease management.

This resource guide will provide different categories of various services in Massachusetts and will include a number of websites addresses. The lists of places mentioned are not endorsements or recommendations to use their services. Anyone using the resources in this directory is on their own in calling for information, hours of availability, inquiry for services offered in different languages, and for TTY telephone numbers and websites.

Information will be complied from various sources and will be posted at the end of the directory.

If any information is not correct, please let me know and I will make immediate changes for the next directory distribution.

If you want a hard copy of this directory, there will be a charge of $ 1.00 per page plus mailing costs.

If you want to talk to me about my directory, you can email me at RMillerChat@aol.com. This Directory is available in alternative formats by request.

Thank you and enjoy reading and using the information presented.

Sincerely,
