- Independent Living Skills Training: CORD helps consumers attain the skills needed to achieve their maximum independence level.
- Peer Support: CORD provides support and assistance with problem-solving and goal-setting among people with disabilities.
- Advocacy: CORD provided individual and systematic advocacy to assist and better equip people to confront barriers such as discrimination, lack of access, and unresponsive service systems.
The DHHILS program is especially designed to serve people who are deaf, late deafened, oral deaf, and hard of hearing. Staff are fluent in American Sign Language and provide expert advice and information on assistive listening devices, TTYs, and other communication equipment and technology.
