The First Step to Living Independently
The Information and Referral Services Manager completed an intake with a new consumer this month. The consumer initially called for help with purchasing a laptop but once she learned about the services we offer, she was interested in much more than just a laptop.
However, the laptop will be an essential tool to reduce isolation, participate in medical care, and look for part-time employment, so the request for the laptop was the first step the staff member and consumer worked on.
When the consumer heard about being approved for the laptop she said, “that is good news. I was ready for something good.”
