Concerns expressed in a survey included being overlooked by professionals for needs.

Concerns Expressed by Disability Community

The Independent Living Resource Center (ILRC) is excited to announce the results of our online Public Health survey today.

As the Public Health Advocate for the ILRC, which is a disability services and advocacy nonprofit organization, I created the anonymous questionnaire in January 2023 to discuss access issues people with disabilities and older adults encounter throughout Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties. Participants in our service area shared their responses through the deadline of November 17, 2023.

Topics addressed feelings on interactions with health-care providers, insurance and other benefits, access to local resources, and general thoughts.
