Public Meeting to Focus on Needs of People with Disabilities
A public hearing focusing on the needs of people with disabilities will be held Friday, March 3, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. via videoconference in eight Montana cities.
The meeting is sponsored by the Statewide Independent Living Council and the Vocational Rehabilitation Program of the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS).
The purpose of the forum is to allow people with disabilities to share their comments and suggestions regarding vocational rehabilitation and independent living services provided by the state. The comments will help both programs evaluate their services in an effort to best meet the needs of consumers.
