CAC is a community resource, advocate, and educator for Riverside County residents with disabilities.</p><p data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"5\">Since its establishment, CAC has achieved community recognition and has substantially expanded its services. As a result of our efforts, a branch office opened in 1997 in Indio, with funding from the Department of Education, to serve the Coachella Valley region of Riverside County. To better serve the Coachella Valley region, CAC relocated its offices to Palm Desert in 2006. This was in response to the needs of residents in this rural area, especially the parents of children with disabilities who do not speak English. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the county.</p>		\n			<a href=\"/about/\" role=\"button\">\n						Learn More About Us\n					</a>\n															<img src=\"https://ilcac7717.dev34.info/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/special-child-on-wheelchair-is-smiling-face-as-hap-78JU8R2-scaled-pdy6lzavx5m71806n7wsphy1lsb8up6mv6qr6hqoaw.jpg\" title=\"special child on wheelchair is smiling face as happy\" alt=\"a smiling face child on the wheelchair with a backpack\" />															\n															<img src=\"https://ilcac7717.dev34.info/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/blind-person-using-a-computer-pe1z1ygnfghg757xk4za3qk776nzrio8yjtkhxlnlk.jpeg\" title=\"Blind man using his computer\" alt=\"white man with shades typing on computer\" />															\n															<img src=\"https://ilcac7717.dev34.info/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/special-child-on-wheelchair-is-smiling-face-as-hap-78JU8R2-scaled-pdy6lzaycv7298bnh1n4xnmrogqi67m2mrx3hap4d4.jpg\" title=\"special child on wheelchair is smiling face as happy\" alt=\"a smiling face child on the wheelchair with a backpack\" />															\n			<h2>Important Covid-19 Notice</h2>		\n		<p>We are back to our normal business hours which are Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, except for holiday’s that fall on a weekday.</p><p>For additional information regarding CAC and the COVID-19 call us at <a style=\"color: #099c7e;\" href=\"tel:(951) 274-0358.\"><strong>(951) 274-0358.</strong></a></p><p>For more information on the COVID-19 pandemic click on this link: Stay home except for essential needs.</p><p>Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time.

Their disabilities include sensory, mobility, psychiatric, developmental disabilities, chronic disease, and multiple disabilities.</p><p>The principle of cross-disability service delivery is confirmed through analysis of Community Access Center\'s (CAC) current consumer base. Community Access Center has served over two thousand consumers out of our four offices since 1995. The distribution of disabilities as reported by the consumers include 41% individuals with physical disabilities, 13% with mental disabilities, 22% sensory disabilities (visual and hearing impaired), and 21% cognitive disabilities.

As a result of our efforts, a Branch Office opened in 1997 to serve the desert region of Riverside County. This office has had a large impact on that under-served region of the County. The mountain pass region is now receiving independent living services at the CAC satellite office in Banning/Beaumont, which was opened in October 1999 and in . The service area of Community Access Center is the County of Riverside. Approximately 7,300 square miles in size, this area includes both urban and rural communities.</p><p>Riverside County currently ranks third of the most rapidly growing county populations in the state, having averaged 3.1% annual growth in the years from 2000 to 2010 and is the most rapidly growing county in the southern half of the state. It is also one of the largest counties in the state. Among Southern California counties, Riverside County ranks first in population growth with a forecast average annual growth rate of 3.7% in the years 1996 to 2000. There was an 82% growth in the number of residents in the decade between 1983 and 1993. The estimated number of county residents with disabilities exceeds 190,000 persons.</p><p>The need for independent living services in Riverside County was defined by the Department of Rehabilitation in a State Independent Living Plan adopted in 1986. Funds were initially provided to the Dayle MacIntosh Center, an independent living center in Orange County, to operate a branch office in Riverside. At that time, consumers were assisted to acquire and use adaptive devices or equipment and were assessed to fulfill their unmet independent living needs and referred to the Department of Rehabilitation\'s Independent Living Resource Specialist for support services. Requests from consumers for extended services were numerous. Within months of the establishment of the branch office, additional funding was given to provide core independent living services to consumers in Riverside County.</p><p>At a public hearing in San Bernardino held by the State independent Living Council on June 15, 1995, local residents confirmed the need for an independent living center exclusive to the area. The Department of Rehabilitation issued a Request for Proposal in order to fund the establishment of such an agency and the Community Access Center was selected as the grantee.</p>		\n			<h1>We Advocate for you!</h1>		\n			<h3>Community Access Center Never Charges A Fee For Services Provided.</h3>		\n			<h4>Investigation of discrimination claims and mediation on behalf of people with disabilities in order to resolve conflicts that impede the attainment of needed benefits and services.</h4>		\n			<h3>Consumer Rights Notification</h3>		\n		<p><em><strong>Every consumer of the Community Access Center has the right to appeal any decision which denies you service.

It is shortterm, often done by telephone, and provided by a lay person rather than a professional therapist. Containing abundant demonstrative case examples, this book is designed to provide the skills necessary to counsel from the initial needs assessment (for resources like food, shelter, medical care, physical protection, or unconditional support) through the conduct of a session (how to start and end one, identifying and reflecting clients\' feelings, typical roadblocks, and confidentiality). It closes with special attention to handling crisis situations, like suicidal emergencies and counseling the dying. Ms. Cox has distilled the wisdom of more than twenty years as a peer counselor and trainer in this comprehensive and sound volume. Her knowhow will endow prospective volunteers with confidence, and provide trainers with an invaluable tool for their instructional programs.</p>		\n			<h2><a href=\"/housing-registry-2021/\">Community Access Center, Housing Registry 2021	</a></h2>		\n			<h3>Community Access Center Never Charges A Fee For Services Provided.</h3>		\n			<h1>We Advocate for you!</h1>		\n			<h4>Investigation of discrimination claims and mediation on behalf of people with disabilities in order to resolve conflicts that impede the attainment of needed benefits and services.</h4>		\n			<h2>Consumer Rights Notification</h2>		\n		<p><em><strong>Every consumer of the Community Access Center has the right to appeal any decision which denies you service.

It is shortterm, often done by telephone, and provided by a lay person rather than a professional therapist. Containing abundant demonstrative case examples, this book is designed to provide the skills necessary to counsel from the initial needs assessment (for resources like food, shelter, medical care, physical protection, or unconditional support) through the conduct of a session (how to start and end one, identifying and reflecting clients\' feelings, typical roadblocks, and confidentiality). It closes with special attention to handling crisis situations, like suicidal emergencies and counseling the dying. Ms. Cox has distilled the wisdom of more than twenty years as a peer counselor and trainer in this comprehensive and sound volume. Her knowhow will endow prospective volunteers with confidence, and provide trainers with an invaluable tool for their instructional programs.</p>		\n			<h2><a href=\"/housing-registry-2021/\">Community Access Center, Housing Registry 2021	</a></h2>		\n			<h3>Community Access Center Never Charges A Fee For Services Provided.</h3>		\n			<h1>We Advocate for you!</h1>		\n			<h4>Investigation of discrimination claims and mediation on behalf of people with disabilities in order to resolve conflicts that impede the attainment of needed benefits and services.</h4>		\n			<h2>Consumer Rights Notification</h2>		\n		<p><em><strong>Every consumer of the Community Access Center has the right to appeal any decision which denies you service.

CAC Advocates provide assistance to individuals with disabilities in resolving issues related to obtaining access to benefits, services, and programs. We also provide civil rights education, leadership training, and networking opportunities between businesses and disability groups. If you encounter a problem related to disability, we can provide you with the tools to resolve it.</p><ol start=\"1\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"37\"><li>Think about what you want to be different from. Before you talk to the other person, make sure you know what you want to happen. Do you want to be treated differently? Do you want that person to stop doing something? Do you want a barrier removed?</li></ol><ol start=\"2\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"38\"><li>Take a deep breath and speak clearly and slowly. Deep breathing gives your body lots of oxygen, and oxygen helps you feel calmer and think more clearly.

One of the best parts of being your own advocate is that you don’t have to solve all the problems on your own. You can and should ask for help. Asking for help is also advocating for yourself.

It is short-term, often done by telephone, and provided by a layperson rather than a professional therapist.
