on Disabilities
to the Commission on Disabilities
Web Page. Residents who would like more information
on the subject of enabling residents with disabilities, and
on various commission initiatives, are welcome to attend the
LCD's monthly meetings, usually the first Monday of every
month at 11:00 a.m. in the Town Offices. Or, contact any current
member, of the Lincoln Commission on Disabilities.
The goal of the Commission on Disabilities is to enable all of
the disabled in our midst by raising the consciousness of
the town to the physical, educational, residential, employment,
and other needs of our disabled members.
In addition, it is our desire to assist the
town to move towards providing greater access to, and fuller
participation in, our community's vibrant life and activities,
for all; shining a light on the contributions made by others
in town on behalf of the disabled.
The Commission on Disabilities works to monitor
the Town's public, commercial, and non-profit projects and
programs, as regards the individual and collective needs of
our disabled citizens, and compliance with the life-enhancing
"accessibility" desires, standards and laws of our
town, state and nation.
