The most well-known is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush on July 26, 1990. It requires that people with disabilities be given equal access at all levels of society, including jobs, government services, public accommodations, and public transportation.</p><h2 style=\"color: #42864f;\"><strong>Who is protected by the ADA?</strong></h2><ul><li>A person with a disability or who has had a disability—someone with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. This might include the ability to see, hear, speak, breathe, or walk.</li><li>A person who is perceived to have a disability; e.g., an individual who is a cancer survivor.</li></ul><p>If you are living with vision loss, it\'s important to understand the basic facts about ADA and how it protects you.</p>		\n									Title I\n									Title II\n									Title III\n									Dog Guides\n									Title IV\n									Title I\n					<p>Title I of the ADA covers employers of 15 or more people. Employers must make employment application and testing procedures accessible by providing &#8220;reasonable accommodation.&#8221; For example, all employment applications must be available to you in an accessible format.</p><p>If you are required to use a computer to complete testing, the employer must make that computer accessible to you. The employer may choose the accessibility software but it must give you an opportunity equal to other applicants who are not visually impaired.</p><p>Employers must make memos, benefit information, employment-related documents, and on-the-job training accessible. If, as an employee, you experience vision loss, your employer must make &#8220;reasonable accommodations&#8221; to allow you to perform your job.</p><p>For more information on Title I, see:</p><ul><li>Equal Employment Opportunity Commission: <a href=\"http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/accommodation.html\">&#8220;Small Employers and Reasonable Accommodation&#8221;</a>.</li><li>Department of Justice. Americans with Disabilities Act: Questions and Answers, <a href=\"http://www.ada.gov/q&amp;aeng02.htm#Anchor-Employment-47857\"> Employment section</a>.</li></ul>\n									Title II\n					<p>Title II of the ADA covers state and local governments. State and local government entities must make their facilities, programs, and services accessible to individuals with a visual impairment. They also have an obligation to provide access to print information in an individual&#8217;s chosen format.</p><p>Access to public housing and public transportation is also covered by Title II of the ADA. Privately owned housing is covered by the Fair Housing Act; private transportation, e.g., hotel shuttles, over-the-road buses, and taxis, is covered by Title III of the ADA.</p><p>For more information on Title II, see:</p><ul><li>Department of Justice. Americans with Disabilities Act: Questions and Answers, <a href=\"http://www.ada.gov/q&amp;aeng02.htm#State11481\">State and Local Governments section</a>.</li></ul>\n									Title III\n					<p>Title III of the ADA requires places of public accommodation to make their written material accessible, but unlike state and local governments, they do not have to provide that material in an individual&#8217;s chosen accessible format as long as they provide effective communication. For example, a restaurant does not have to provide large print or braille menus—a waiter can read the menu to the patron.</p><p>Covered entities include, but are not limited to, sales and service establishments of all kinds—supermarkets, boutiques, dry cleaners, theatres, restaurants, travel agencies, doctors&#8217; and lawyers&#8217; offices, and banks.</p><p>For example, supermarkets are required to provide you with assistance to make shopping easier; boutiques and other sales establishments are required to make prices and information on products accessible; banks are required to make information on loan and mortgage documents accessible.</p><p>In addition, ADA&#8217;s Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) require braille and raised-character signage in places such as elevator car controls, offices, hotel rooms, and restrooms.</p><p>Access to private transportation vehicles and services, e.g., hotel shuttles, over-the-road buses, and taxis, is covered by Title III of the ADA.</p><p>For more information on Title III, see:</p><ul><li>Department of Justice. Americans with Disabilities Act: Questions and Answers, <a href=\"http://www.ada.gov/q&amp;aeng02.htm#Public\">Public Accommodations section</a>.</li></ul>\n									Dog Guides\n					<p>The ADA protects individuals who use service animals, including dog guides. The ADA defines a service animal as &#8220;any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability.&#8221; While service animals are specifically covered by Title III of the ADA, individuals who use a dog guide are also protected under Title I as a reasonable job accommodation and under Title II as a reasonable modification of policies and procedures.</p><p>Therefore, anyone who uses a dog guide may go anywhere a sighted person can go, including—but not limited to—schools, hospitals, the workplace, restaurants, theatres, taxi cabs, trains and buses, grocery stores, museums, and health spas.</p><p>ADA does not allow an entity to charge extra admission for a dog guide or to isolate a person using a dog guide. The owner of the dog guide is responsible for controlling its behavior and is liable if the dog guide causes any property damage or harms someone.</p><p>For more information on dog guide protections, see:</p><ul><li>Department of Justice. <a href=\"http://www.ada.gov/svcanimb.htm\">Americans with Disabilities Act: ADA Business BRIEF: Service Animals</a>.</li></ul>\n									Title IV\n					<p>Title IV of the ADA, Telecommunications, covers only telecommunications for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. However, Section 255 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 has provisions that apply to individuals with vision loss.</p>\n			<h2>White Cane Laws</h2>		\n		<p>White Cane Laws are a set of state laws that were the first to provide people with vision loss access to public facilities and transportation. The first White Cane Law dates back to 1966 and now each state has its own version on the books. While the language varies from state to state, all White Cane Laws protect pedestrians with white canes is similar ways.</p><p>The laws oblige operators of vehicles to stop when approaching the pedestrian whose cane is extended or who is using a dog guide. The driver is required to take needed precautions to prevent accident or injury to the pedestrian, even if the pedestrian should cross at the wrong time or place. The laws also state that the white cane (or white with red tip) is only to be used by people with vision loss.</p><p><strong>Warning:</strong> Many drivers are either unaware of the White Cane Law or choose to ignore it. Always take care to use official crosswalks and obey traffic signals.</p><p><strong>FYI:</strong> October 15 is White Cane Day! Observed annually, White Cane Day honors the independence gained by people who are blind or visually impaired.</p>		\n			<h2>Getting What You\'re Entitled To</h2>		\n												<a href=\"\">How do I get my Identification Card?</a>\n					<p>An identification card replaces a driver&#8217;s license for individuals who are unable to drive. It has the same value as a driver&#8217;s license for travel, such as when flying.</p><p>Although the process can vary from state to state, most states typically require that you call or visit your local Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or whichever government office addresses public safety concerns. For faster service, it may help to make an appointment in advance.</p><p>Be prepared to:</p><ul><li>complete an application;</li><li>provide a thumbprint;</li><li>have your picture taken;</li><li>provide your social security number, date of birth, and proof of residency and/or citizenship; and</li><li>pay any required application fee(s).</li></ul><p><strong>FYI:</strong> Just about all federal, state, and local government forms and their respective requirements are accessible online. If you have web access, it&#8217;s a good idea to consult your state&#8217;s web page before you begin the application process.</p>\n												<a href=\"\">How do I get a handicapped parking permit?</a>\n					<p>You are eligible for a special parking permit or license plate if you have one or more severe disabilities that affect mobility. You must contact the local issuing agent that provides this service to individuals in your home area. The issuing agent can vary from state to state. Visit your local city or town hall, automobile tag office, or tax collector&#8217;s office to find out where your nearest permit issuing agent is located.</p><p>Keep in mind:</p><ul><li>You must fill out an application.</li><li>It is necessary to have a medical professional verify your disability.</li><li>A parking permit may be issued for either a permanent or a temporary disability.</li><li>While permits are issued in the name of the person with the disability, <strong>you do not have to be a driver or the registered owner of a vehicle to get a parking permit</strong>.</li><li>If you have a driver&#8217;s license or identification card, bring it with you when you apply for the permit.</li></ul><h2>Other Disability Rights Laws</h2><p>Other disability rights laws cover access to telephone equipment and services; federal government information; private housing; voting; and air transportation.

The ADA defines a service animal as &#8220;any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability.&#8221; While service animals are specifically covered by Title III of the ADA, individuals who use a dog guide are also protected under Title I as a reasonable job accommodation and under Title II as a reasonable modification of policies and procedures.</p><p>Therefore, anyone who uses a dog guide may go anywhere a sighted person can go, including—but not limited to—schools, hospitals, the workplace, restaurants, theatres, taxi cabs, trains and buses, grocery stores, museums, and health spas.</p><p>ADA does not allow an entity to charge extra admission for a dog guide or to isolate a person using a dog guide. The owner of the dog guide is responsible for controlling its behavior and is liable if the dog guide causes any property damage or harms someone.</p><p>For more information on dog guide protections, see:</p><ul><li>Department of Justice. <a href=\"http://www.ada.gov/svcanimb.htm\">Americans with Disabilities Act: ADA Business BRIEF: Service Animals</a>.</li></ul>\n									Title IV\n					<p>Title IV of the ADA, Telecommunications, covers only telecommunications for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. However, Section 255 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 has provisions that apply to individuals with vision loss.</p>\n			<h2>White Cane Laws</h2>		\n		<p>White Cane Laws are a set of state laws that were the first to provide people with vision loss access to public facilities and transportation. The first White Cane Law dates back to 1966 and now each state has its own version on the books. While the language varies from state to state, all White Cane Laws protect pedestrians with white canes is similar ways.</p><p>The laws oblige operators of vehicles to stop when approaching the pedestrian whose cane is extended or who is using a dog guide. The driver is required to take needed precautions to prevent accident or injury to the pedestrian, even if the pedestrian should cross at the wrong time or place. The laws also state that the white cane (or white with red tip) is only to be used by people with vision loss.</p><p><strong>Warning:</strong> Many drivers are either unaware of the White Cane Law or choose to ignore it. Always take care to use official crosswalks and obey traffic signals.</p><p><strong>FYI:</strong> October 15 is White Cane Day! Observed annually, White Cane Day honors the independence gained by people who are blind or visually impaired.</p>		\n			<h2>Getting What You\'re Entitled To</h2>		\n												<a href=\"\">How do I get my Identification Card?</a>\n					<p>An identification card replaces a driver&#8217;s license for individuals who are unable to drive. It has the same value as a driver&#8217;s license for travel, such as when flying.</p><p>Although the process can vary from state to state, most states typically require that you call or visit your local Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or whichever government office addresses public safety concerns. For faster service, it may help to make an appointment in advance.</p><p>Be prepared to:</p><ul><li>complete an application;</li><li>provide a thumbprint;</li><li>have your picture taken;</li><li>provide your social security number, date of birth, and proof of residency and/or citizenship; and</li><li>pay any required application fee(s).</li></ul><p><strong>FYI:</strong> Just about all federal, state, and local government forms and their respective requirements are accessible online. If you have web access, it&#8217;s a good idea to consult your state&#8217;s web page before you begin the application process.</p>\n												<a href=\"\">How do I get a handicapped parking permit?</a>\n					<p>You are eligible for a special parking permit or license plate if you have one or more severe disabilities that affect mobility. You must contact the local issuing agent that provides this service to individuals in your home area. The issuing agent can vary from state to state. Visit your local city or town hall, automobile tag office, or tax collector&#8217;s office to find out where your nearest permit issuing agent is located.</p><p>Keep in mind:</p><ul><li>You must fill out an application.</li><li>It is necessary to have a medical professional verify your disability.</li><li>A parking permit may be issued for either a permanent or a temporary disability.</li><li>While permits are issued in the name of the person with the disability, <strong>you do not have to be a driver or the registered owner of a vehicle to get a parking permit</strong>.</li><li>If you have a driver&#8217;s license or identification card, bring it with you when you apply for the permit.</li></ul><h2>Other Disability Rights Laws</h2><p>Other disability rights laws cover access to telephone equipment and services; federal government information; private housing; voting; and air transportation.

As a result of our efforts, a Branch Office opened in 1997 in Indio with funding from the Department of Education, to serve the Coachella Valley region of Riverside County. To better serve the Coachella Valley region, CAC relocated it\'s offices to Palm Desert in 2006. This was in response to the needs of residents in this rural area, especially the parents of children with disabilities who do not speak English. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the County.\n\nIn order to service the independent living needs of our county residents living the city of Desert Hot Springs and nearby rural and unincorporated areas within Riverside County, Community Access enter opened an office in Desert Hot Springs.\n\nThe mountain pass and south county regions are receiving independent living services at the CAC satellite office located in the City of Menifee.\n\nAs an independent living center, the agency is structured by the following principles:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Organizational policies and programs are developed, directed, and delivered primarily by persons with disabilities;</li>\n 	<li>Services are provided on a cross-disability basis; and</li>\n 	<li>The Agency operates as a non-residential, non-profit organization.</li>\n</ul>\nThe composition of the Center\'s staff and Board of Directors is diverse and reflects the principle of consumer control. The Board of Directors currently consists of eight members and reflect the diversity of the community we serve. CAC has 24 employees. They also reflect the diversity of the community we serve and 87% have disabilities. Their disabilities include sensory, mobility, psychiatric, developmental disabilities, chronic disease, and multiple disabilities.\n\nThe principle of cross-disability service delivery is confirmed through analysis of Community Access Center\'s (CAC) current consumer base. Community Access Center has served over two thousand consumers out of our four offices since 1995. The distribution of disabilities as reported by the consumers include 41% individuals with physical disabilities, 13% with mental disabilities, 22% sensory disabilities (visual and hearing impaired), and 21% cognitive disabilities. This includes developmental disabilities, learning disabilities and traumatic brain injuries. 2% of the consumers served reported having multiple disabilities.\n\nCompliance with the third governing principle is evidenced through the Center\'s observation of the criteria established for tax exempt nonprofit agencies and defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Incorporated in early 1995, the Community Access Center received its first AB204 allocation in November of that same year. In over the 20 years of operation, the agency has become a recognized presence in Riverside County.\n\nCommunity Access Center has gained the support of many organizations and individuals in the community. As a result of our efforts, a Branch Office opened in 1997 to serve the desert region of Riverside County. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the County. The mountain pass region is now receiving independent living services at the CAC satellite office in Banning/Beaumont, which was opened in October 1999 and in . The service area of Community Access Center is the County of Riverside. Approximately 7,300 square miles in size, this area includes both urban and rural communities.\n\nRiverside County currently ranks third of the most rapidly growing county populations in the state, having averaged 3.1% annual growth in the years from 2000 to 2010 and is the most rapidly growing county in the southern half of the state. It is also one of the largest counties in the state. Among Southern California counties, Riverside County ranks first in population growth with a forecast average annual growth rate of 3.7% in the years 1996 to 2000. There was an 82% growth in the number of residents in the decade between 1983 and 1993. The estimated number of county residents with disabilities exceeds 190,000 persons.\n\nThe need for independent living services in Riverside County was defined by the Department of Rehabilitation in a State Independent Living Plan adopted in 1986. Funds were initially provided to the Dayle MacIntosh Center, an independent living center in Orange County, to operate a branch office in Riverside. At that time, consumers were assisted to acquire and use adaptive devices or equipment and were assessed to fulfill their unmet independent living needs and referred to the Department of Rehabilitation\'s Independent Living Resource Specialist for support services. Requests from consumers for extended services were numerous. Within months of the establishment of the branch office, additional funding was given to provide core independent living services to consumers in Riverside County.\n\nAt a public hearing in San Bernardino held by the State independent Living Council on June 15, 1995, local residents confirmed the need for an independent living center exclusive to the area.

As a result of our efforts, a Branch Office opened in 1997 in Indio with funding from the Department of Education, to serve the Coachella Valley region of Riverside County. To better serve the Coachella Valley region, CAC relocated it\'s offices to Palm Desert in 2006. This was in response to the needs of residents in this rural area, especially the parents of children with disabilities who do not speak English. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the County.</p><p>In order to service the independent living needs of our county residents living the city of Desert Hot Springs and nearby rural and unincorporated areas within Riverside County, Community Access Center opened an office in Desert Hot Springs.</p><p>The mountain pass and south county regions are receiving independent living services at the CAC satellite office located in the City of Perris.</p><p>As an independent living center, the agency is structured by the following principles:</p><ul><li>Organizational policies and programs are developed, directed, and delivered primarily by persons with disabilities;</li><li>Services are provided on a cross-disability basis; and</li><li>The Agency operates as a non-residential, non-profit organization.</li></ul><p>The composition of the Center\'s staff and Board of Directors is diverse and reflects the principle of consumer control. The Board of Directors currently consists of eight members and reflect the diversity of the community we serve. CAC has 23 employees. They also reflect the diversity of the community we serve and 87% have disabilities. Their disabilities include sensory, mobility, psychiatric, developmental disabilities, chronic disease, and multiple disabilities.</p><p>The principle of cross-disability service delivery is confirmed through analysis of Community Access Center\'s (CAC) current consumer base. Community Access Center has served over two thousand consumers out of our four offices since 1995. The distribution of disabilities as reported by the consumers include 41% individuals with physical disabilities, 13% with mental disabilities, 22% sensory disabilities (visual and hearing impaired), and 21% cognitive disabilities. This includes developmental disabilities, learning disabilities and traumatic brain injuries. 2% of the consumers served reported having multiple disabilities.</p><p>Compliance with the third governing principle is evidenced through the Center\'s observation of the criteria established for tax exempt nonprofit agencies and defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Incorporated in early 1995, the Community Access Center received its first AB204 allocation in November of that same year. In over the 20 years of operation, the agency has become a recognized presence in Riverside County.</p><p>Community Access Center has gained the support of many organizations and individuals in the community. As a result of our efforts, a Branch Office opened in 1997 to serve the desert region of Riverside County. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the County. The mountain pass region is now receiving independent living services at the CAC satellite office in Banning/Beaumont, which was opened in October 1999 and in . The service area of Community Access Center is the County of Riverside. Approximately 7,300 square miles in size, this area includes both urban and rural communities.</p><p>Riverside County currently ranks third of the most rapidly growing county populations in the state, having averaged 3.1% annual growth in the years from 2000 to 2010 and is the most rapidly growing county in the southern half of the state. It is also one of the largest counties in the state. Among Southern California counties, Riverside County ranks first in population growth with a forecast average annual growth rate of 3.7% in the years 1996 to 2000. There was an 82% growth in the number of residents in the decade between 1983 and 1993. The estimated number of county residents with disabilities exceeds 190,000 persons.</p><p>The need for independent living services in Riverside County was defined by the Department of Rehabilitation in a State Independent Living Plan adopted in 1986. Funds were initially provided to the Dayle MacIntosh Center, an independent living center in Orange County, to operate a branch office in Riverside. At that time, consumers were assisted to acquire and use adaptive devices or equipment and were assessed to fulfill their unmet independent living needs and referred to the Department of Rehabilitation\'s Independent Living Resource Specialist for support services. Requests from consumers for extended services were numerous. Within months of the establishment of the branch office, additional funding was given to provide core independent living services to consumers in Riverside County.</p><p>At a public hearing in San Bernardino held by the State independent Living Council on June 15, 1995, local residents confirmed the need for an independent living center exclusive to the area. The Department of Rehabilitation issued a Request for Proposal in order to fund the establishment of such an agency and the Community Access Center was selected as the grantee.</p>		\n			<h1>We Advocate for you!</h1>		\n			<h3>Community Access Center Never Charges A Fee For Services Provided.</h3>		\n			<h4>Investigation of discrimination claims and mediation on behalf of people with disabilities in order to resolve conflicts that impede the attainment of needed benefits and services.</h4>		\n			<h3>Consumer Rights Notification</h3>		\n		<p><em><strong>Every consumer of the Community Access Center has the right to appeal any decision which denies you service.

As a result of our efforts, a Branch Office opened in 1997 in Indio with funding from the Department of Education, to serve the Coachella Valley region of Riverside County. To better serve the Coachella Valley region, CAC relocated it\'s offices to Palm Desert in 2006. This was in response to the needs of residents in this rural area, especially the parents of children with disabilities who do not speak English. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the County.\n\nIn order to service the independent living needs of our county residents living the city of Desert Hot Springs and nearby rural and unincorporated areas within Riverside County, Community Access enter opened an office in Desert Hot Springs.\n\nThe mountain pass and south county regions are receiving independent living services at the CAC satellite office located in the City of Menifee.\n\nAs an independent living center, the agency is structured by the following principles:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Organizational policies and programs are developed, directed, and delivered primarily by persons with disabilities;</li>\n 	<li>Services are provided on a cross-disability basis; and</li>\n 	<li>The Agency operates as a non-residential, non-profit organization.</li>\n</ul>\nThe composition of the Center\'s staff and Board of Directors is diverse and reflects the principle of consumer control. The Board of Directors currently consists of eight members and reflect the diversity of the community we serve. CAC has 24 employees. They also reflect the diversity of the community we serve and 87% have disabilities. Their disabilities include sensory, mobility, psychiatric, developmental disabilities, chronic disease, and multiple disabilities.\n\nThe principle of cross-disability service delivery is confirmed through analysis of Community Access Center\'s (CAC) current consumer base. Community Access Center has served over two thousand consumers out of our four offices since 1995. The distribution of disabilities as reported by the consumers include 41% individuals with physical disabilities, 13% with mental disabilities, 22% sensory disabilities (visual and hearing impaired), and 21% cognitive disabilities. This includes developmental disabilities, learning disabilities and traumatic brain injuries. 2% of the consumers served reported having multiple disabilities.\n\nCompliance with the third governing principle is evidenced through the Center\'s observation of the criteria established for tax exempt nonprofit agencies and defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Incorporated in early 1995, the Community Access Center received its first AB204 allocation in November of that same year. In over the 20 years of operation, the agency has become a recognized presence in Riverside County.\n\nCommunity Access Center has gained the support of many organizations and individuals in the community. As a result of our efforts, a Branch Office opened in 1997 to serve the desert region of Riverside County. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the County. The mountain pass region is now receiving independent living services at the CAC satellite office in Banning/Beaumont, which was opened in October 1999 and in . The service area of Community Access Center is the County of Riverside. Approximately 7,300 square miles in size, this area includes both urban and rural communities.\n\nRiverside County currently ranks third of the most rapidly growing county populations in the state, having averaged 3.1% annual growth in the years from 2000 to 2010 and is the most rapidly growing county in the southern half of the state. It is also one of the largest counties in the state. Among Southern California counties, Riverside County ranks first in population growth with a forecast average annual growth rate of 3.7% in the years 1996 to 2000. There was an 82% growth in the number of residents in the decade between 1983 and 1993. The estimated number of county residents with disabilities exceeds 190,000 persons.\n\nThe need for independent living services in Riverside County was defined by the Department of Rehabilitation in a State Independent Living Plan adopted in 1986. Funds were initially provided to the Dayle MacIntosh Center, an independent living center in Orange County, to operate a branch office in Riverside. At that time, consumers were assisted to acquire and use adaptive devices or equipment and were assessed to fulfill their unmet independent living needs and referred to the Department of Rehabilitation\'s Independent Living Resource Specialist for support services. Requests from consumers for extended services were numerous. Within months of the establishment of the branch office, additional funding was given to provide core independent living services to consumers in Riverside County.\n\nAt a public hearing in San Bernardino held by the State independent Living Council on June 15, 1995, local residents confirmed the need for an independent living center exclusive to the area.

Their disabilities include sensory, mobility, psychiatric, developmental disabilities, chronic disease, and multiple disabilities.\n\nThe principle of cross-disability service delivery is confirmed through analysis of Community Access Center\'s (CAC) current consumer base. Community Access Center has served over two thousand consumers out of our four offices since 1995. The distribution of disabilities as reported by the consumers include 41% individuals with physical disabilities, 13% with mental disabilities, 22% sensory disabilities (visual and hearing impaired), and 21% cognitive disabilities.

In over the 20 years of operation, the agency has become a recognized presence in Riverside County.\n\nCommunity Access Center has gained the support of many organizations and individuals in the community. As a result of our efforts, a Branch Office opened in 1997 to serve the desert region of Riverside County. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the County. The mountain pass region is now receiving independent living services at the CAC satellite office in Banning/Beaumont, which was opened in October 1999 and in . The service area of Community Access Center is the County of Riverside. Approximately 7,300 square miles in size, this area includes both urban and rural communities.\n\nRiverside County currently ranks third of the most rapidly growing county populations in the state, having averaged 3.1% annual growth in the years from 2000 to 2010 and is the most rapidly growing county in the southern half of the state. It is also one of the largest counties in the state. Among Southern California counties, Riverside County ranks first in population growth with a forecast average annual growth rate of 3.7% in the years 1996 to 2000. There was an 82% growth in the number of residents in the decade between 1983 and 1993. The estimated number of county residents with disabilities exceeds 190,000 persons.\n\nThe need for independent living services in Riverside County was defined by the Department of Rehabilitation in a State Independent Living Plan adopted in 1986. Funds were initially provided to the Dayle MacIntosh Center, an independent living center in Orange County, to operate a branch office in Riverside. At that time, consumers were assisted to acquire and use adaptive devices or equipment and were assessed to fulfill their unmet independent living needs and referred to the Department of Rehabilitation\'s Independent Living Resource Specialist for support services. Requests from consumers for extended services were numerous. Within months of the establishment of the branch office, additional funding was given to provide core independent living services to consumers in Riverside County.\n\nAt a public hearing in San Bernardino held by the State independent Living Council on June 15, 1995, local residents confirmed the need for an independent living center exclusive to the area. The Department of Rehabilitation issued a Request for Proposal in order to fund the establishment of such an agency and the Community Access Center was selected as the grantee.\n<h3>Community Access Center Never Charges A Fee For Services Provided.</h3>\n<h1>We Advocate for you!</h1>\n<h4>Investigation of discrimination claims and mediation on behalf of people with disabilities in order to resolve conflicts that impede the attainment of needed benefits and services.</h4>\n<h3>Consumer Rights Notification</h3>\n<em><strong>Every consumer of the Community Access Center has the right to appeal any decision which denies you service.

Key considerations in developing an IEP include assessing students in all areas related to the known disabilities, simultaneously considering ability to access the general curriculum, considering how the disability affects the student’s learning, developing goals and objectives that correspond to the needs of the student, and ultimately choosing a placement in the least restrictive environment possible for the student.</p><p>As long as a student qualifies for special education, the IEP must be regularly maintained and updated over the student\'s primary educational years (i.e. up to the point of high school graduation, or prior to the 22nd birthday). If a student in special education attends university upon graduation, the university\'s own system and procedures take over. Placements often occur in \"general education\", mainstream classes, and specialized classes or sub-specialties taught by a specifically trained individual, such as a special education teacher, sometimes within a resource room.</p><p>An IEP is meant to ensure that students receive an appropriate placement, not \"only\" special education classrooms or special schools. It is meant to give the student a chance to participate in \"normal\" school culture and academics as much as is possible for that individual student. In this way, the student is able to have specialized assistance only when such assistance is absolutely necessary, and otherwise maintains the freedom to interact with and participate in the activities of his or her more general school peers.</p><p><strong>If your child is struggling in school, you may have heard about something called an  <a href=\"https://www.understood.org/en/school-learning/special-services/ieps/understanding-individualized-education-programs\"> IEP</a>.</strong></p><p><strong>What is an IEP? <em>IEP </em>is an acronym that stands for <em>Individualized Education Program</em>.

The process begins with a  <a href=\"https://www.understood.org/en/school-learning/evaluations/evaluation-basics/understanding-evaluations\"> full evaluation</a> that shows your child’s strengths and weaknesses. The results allow you and the school to create a program of services and supports tailored to meet your child’s needs.

But there are other types of help that can also be included in an IEP.</p><p>Kids might get <a href=\"https://www.understood.org/en/school-learning/partnering-with-childs-school/instructional-strategies/classroom-accommodations-to-help-students-with-learning-and-attention-issues\"> accommodations</a>, like extended time on tests, or  <a href=\"https://www.understood.org/en/school-learning/special-services/special-education-basics/related-services-for-kids-with-learning-and-attention-issues-what-you-need-to-know\"> related services</a>, like speech-language therapy.  <a href=\"https://www.understood.org/en/school-learning/assistive-technology/assistive-technologies-basics/assistive-technology-what-it-is-and-how-it-works\"> Assistive technology</a> (AT) is another type of support that can be part of an IEP.

As a result of our efforts, a Branch Office opened in 1997 in Indio with funding from the Department of Education, to serve the Coachella Valley region of Riverside County. To better serve the Coachella Valley region, CAC relocated it\'s offices to Palm Desert in 2006. This was in response to the needs of residents in this rural area, especially the parents of children with disabilities who do not speak English. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the County.</p><p>In order to service the independent living needs of our county residents living the city of Desert Hot Springs and nearby rural and unincorporated areas within Riverside County, Community Access enter opened an office in Desert Hot Springs.</p><p>The mountain pass and south county regions are receiving independent living services at the CAC satellite office located in the City of Menifee.</p><p>As an independent living center, the agency is structured by the following principles:</p><ul><li>Organizational policies and programs are developed, directed, and delivered primarily by persons with disabilities;</li><li>Services are provided on a cross-disability basis; and</li><li>The Agency operates as a non-residential, non-profit organization.</li></ul><p>The composition of the Center\'s staff and Board of Directors is diverse and reflects the principle of consumer control. The Board of Directors currently consists of eight members and reflect the diversity of the community we serve. CAC has 24 employees. They also reflect the diversity of the community we serve and 87% have disabilities. Their disabilities include sensory, mobility, psychiatric, developmental disabilities, chronic disease, and multiple disabilities.</p><p>The principle of cross-disability service delivery is confirmed through analysis of Community Access Center\'s (CAC) current consumer base. Community Access Center has served over two thousand consumers out of our four offices since 1995. The distribution of disabilities as reported by the consumers include 41% individuals with physical disabilities, 13% with mental disabilities, 22% sensory disabilities (visual and hearing impaired), and 21% cognitive disabilities. This includes developmental disabilities, learning disabilities and traumatic brain injuries. 2% of the consumers served reported having multiple disabilities.</p><p>Compliance with the third governing principle is evidenced through the Center\'s observation of the criteria established for tax exempt nonprofit agencies and defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Incorporated in early 1995, the Community Access Center received its first AB204 allocation in November of that same year. In over the 20 years of operation, the agency has become a recognized presence in Riverside County.</p><p>Community Access Center has gained the support of many organizations and individuals in the community. As a result of our efforts, a Branch Office opened in 1997 to serve the desert region of Riverside County. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the County. The mountain pass region is now receiving independent living services at the CAC satellite office in Banning/Beaumont, which was opened in October 1999 and in . The service area of Community Access Center is the County of Riverside. Approximately 7,300 square miles in size, this area includes both urban and rural communities.</p><p>Riverside County currently ranks third of the most rapidly growing county populations in the state, having averaged 3.1% annual growth in the years from 2000 to 2010 and is the most rapidly growing county in the southern half of the state. It is also one of the largest counties in the state. Among Southern California counties, Riverside County ranks first in population growth with a forecast average annual growth rate of 3.7% in the years 1996 to 2000. There was an 82% growth in the number of residents in the decade between 1983 and 1993. The estimated number of county residents with disabilities exceeds 190,000 persons.</p><p>The need for independent living services in Riverside County was defined by the Department of Rehabilitation in a State Independent Living Plan adopted in 1986. Funds were initially provided to the Dayle MacIntosh Center, an independent living center in Orange County, to operate a branch office in Riverside. At that time, consumers were assisted to acquire and use adaptive devices or equipment and were assessed to fulfill their unmet independent living needs and referred to the Department of Rehabilitation\'s Independent Living Resource Specialist for support services. Requests from consumers for extended services were numerous. Within months of the establishment of the branch office, additional funding was given to provide core independent living services to consumers in Riverside County.</p><p>At a public hearing in San Bernardino held by the State independent Living Council on June 15, 1995, local residents confirmed the need for an independent living center exclusive to the area. The Department of Rehabilitation issued a Request for Proposal in order to fund the establishment of such an agency and the Community Access Center was selected as the grantee.</p>		\n			<h1>We Advocate for you!</h1>		\n			<h3>Community Access Center Never Charges A Fee For Services Provided.</h3>		\n			<h4>Investigation of discrimination claims and mediation on behalf of people with disabilities in order to resolve conflicts that impede the attainment of needed benefits and services.</h4>		\n			<h3>Consumer Rights Notification</h3>		\n		<p><em><strong>Every consumer of the Community Access Center has the right to appeal any decision which denies you service.

Their disabilities include sensory, mobility, psychiatric, developmental disabilities, chronic disease, and multiple disabilities.</p><p>The principle of cross-disability service delivery is confirmed through analysis of Community Access Center\'s (CAC) current consumer base. Community Access Center has served over two thousand consumers out of our four offices since 1995. The distribution of disabilities as reported by the consumers include 41% individuals with physical disabilities, 13% with mental disabilities, 22% sensory disabilities (visual and hearing impaired), and 21% cognitive disabilities. This includes developmental disabilities, learning disabilities and traumatic brain injuries. 2% of the consumers served reported having multiple disabilities.</p><p>Compliance with the third governing principle is evidenced through the Center\'s observation of the criteria established for tax exempt nonprofit agencies and defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Incorporated in early 1995, the Community Access Center received its first AB204 allocation in November of that same year. In over the 20 years of operation, the agency has become a recognized presence in Riverside County.</p><p>Community Access Center has gained the support of many organizations and individuals in the community. As a result of our efforts, a Branch Office opened in 1997 to serve the desert region of Riverside County. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the County. The mountain pass region is now receiving independent living services at the CAC satellite office in Banning/Beaumont, which was opened in October 1999 and in . The service area of Community Access Center is the County of Riverside. Approximately 7,300 square miles in size, this area includes both urban and rural communities.</p><p>Riverside County currently ranks third of the most rapidly growing county populations in the state, having averaged 3.1% annual growth in the years from 2000 to 2010 and is the most rapidly growing county in the southern half of the state. It is also one of the largest counties in the state. Among Southern California counties, Riverside County ranks first in population growth with a forecast average annual growth rate of 3.7% in the years 1996 to 2000. There was an 82% growth in the number of residents in the decade between 1983 and 1993. The estimated number of county residents with disabilities exceeds 190,000 persons.</p><p>The need for independent living services in Riverside County was defined by the Department of Rehabilitation in a State Independent Living Plan adopted in 1986. Funds were initially provided to the Dayle MacIntosh Center, an independent living center in Orange County, to operate a branch office in Riverside. At that time, consumers were assisted to acquire and use adaptive devices or equipment and were assessed to fulfill their unmet independent living needs and referred to the Department of Rehabilitation\'s Independent Living Resource Specialist for support services. Requests from consumers for extended services were numerous. Within months of the establishment of the branch office, additional funding was given to provide core independent living services to consumers in Riverside County.</p><p>At a public hearing in San Bernardino held by the State independent Living Council on June 15, 1995, local residents confirmed the need for an independent living center exclusive to the area. The Department of Rehabilitation issued a Request for Proposal in order to fund the establishment of such an agency and the Community Access Center was selected as the grantee.</p>		\n			<h1>We Advocate for you!</h1>		\n			<h3>Community Access Center Never Charges A Fee For Services Provided.</h3>		\n			<h4>Investigation of discrimination claims and mediation on behalf of people with disabilities in order to resolve conflicts that impede the attainment of needed benefits and services.</h4>		\n			<h3>Consumer Rights Notification</h3>		\n		<p><em><strong>Every consumer of the Community Access Center has the right to appeal any decision which denies you service.
