HOW TO HELP

Disability Awareness Training Services (DATS)

Since 1990 CDR staff has provided DATS at nonprofit and government agencies as well as to a variety of other groups, including medical and other professional trainees, transit employees, etc.

In the past CDR has received grants from agencies such as AmeriCorps to DHS and ORS to provide DATS to other nonprofit agencies that use AmeriCorps volunteers. The long term goal is to help the nonprofit staff become more knowledgeable about the assets and capabilities of people with disabilities so that they will hire them or use them as volunteers.
