REACH Resource Centers on Independent Living

REACH Resource Centers for Independent Living is different from many other organizations that assist people with disabilities. First and foremost, REACH is peer-based. This means that the staff and governing board of directors is composed primarily of people, who are themselves disabled. This is important, because those setting policy and providing services have personal knowledge and experience with the obstacles and issues that may arise as the result of one’s disability. Secondly, REACH provides services to any individual living in the counties of Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, or Denton regardless of their race, age, or the type of disability they may have. Thirdly, assistance offered by REACH is free of charge.

 The goal of the organization is to aid consumers, who are disabled to achieve the personal goals they have for their lives and address any barriers that may block their independence and self-efficiency.

REACH is here to support individuals with disabilities through a variety of free services and resources:

• Information & Referral: Anyone can reach out to REACH for guidance, information, and referrals related to disability services and support.
• Medical Equipment Donations: Gently used medical equipment is available at no cost to individuals who need it.
• Peer Support: We offer both individual and group support to empower people with disabilities through shared experiences and encouragement.
• Home Accessibility Modifications: Residents with mobility challenges may qualify for assistance with installing ramps, grab bars, and other modifications to improve home accessibility.
• Workshops & Training: We provide educational sessions on a wide range of independent living topics to promote self-sufficiency and confidence.
