by Liz Pickell, M.Ed., Independent Living Specialist—FREED

Every Thursday morning, 9am-10:30am FREED will be offering “Orientation to Disability Application” for any interested community members. In order to be sure that we have handouts for each participant, we ask that you call into our front desk to sign up for the orientation: 477-3333.

Our intention is to provide an explanation of the different types of disability support (SDI, SSDI, SSI), information on which to apply for, and specific guidance about the information required for each.
