Local Center for Independent Living Changes Name

Last year, the name of the Space Coast Center for Independent Living in Rockledge was changed to the Resource Center for Disability Solutions (RCDS). What didn't change in the organization's rebranding is its mission: "to inspire persons with disabilities to lead lives free of systems of self-imposed limitations and cultivate confident self-advocates." RCDS provides transition and transportation services, medical equipment, and technology tools among other services for free (monetary and equipment donations are accepted). It also gives referrals to other helpful organizations. Some clients participate in independent living skills, home modification, peer support, and advocacy programs. I've received home modification services and an amplified-volume telephone from the Center and plan to go back in the future. There's an RCDS office in Vero Beach as well. For more information, go to the new website https://www.rcdsfl.org/.
