NDAD does not attempt to define the term
"Disabled," because there are many different types of disabilities and each person has
unique needs. Every effort is made to provide appropriate services to eligible clients.
NDAD, founded in 1975, is not
affiliated with any other agency or organization. Consequently, no portion of the NDAD
budget is sent out of the area to support a regional or national organization.
Often, disabling conditions can be
very costly. NDAD follows a philosophy that disabled persons can live more satisfying,
productive lives if they have the opportunity. Many times, this requires the purchase
of specialized equipment, medical treatment, or other services.
NDAD works with local school districts,
Vocational Rehabilitation, Human Service Centers, etc. so as not to duplicate assistance
provided by these organizations.
As a nonprofit organization, funds are
limited. Therefore, NDAD is unable to grant every request. Assistance is provided on a
priority basis, according to established guidelines.
