Our Mission

Central Washington Disability Resources advances the empowerment, inclusion, and wellness of all persons with disabilities through advocacy, community education, peer mentoring, and skill development so that they may realize independence and full participation in all areas of life. 

We understand the challenges of having disabilities

Our staff and board of directors include people with disabilities, therefore, we have a unique insight into the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. In fact, our organizational rules require 51% of our staff and board of directors to be people with disabilities. We're "peers," not just "providers." CWDR will focus on guiding the Independent Living Movement by advocating for independence, equity, and justice.  Working together to raise the voices of those who are most marginalized – from BIPOC to LGBTQ+, to immigrants, or to those in poverty. 

This gives us an advantage in providing services and resources to people with disabilities. We are highly motivated to take a personal interest in the people we help. We are committed to empowering them by identifying and obtaining housing, employment, medical care, and assistive technologies. We are passionate advocates for removing barriers to full involvement in their community. Meet our staff.

We have a history of assisting people with disabilities

We started this organization in 1981. And we've been working hard every day since then to promote the inclusion and wellness of persons with disabilities. We have helped hundreds of people to develop the skills and make the connections they need in order to be independent and fully participate in all areas of life. Learn more about our history.
