Here's What Our Consumers Say

REACH has brought more potential to my life as far as making new friends, meeting people, and being active. G.E., REACH of Dallas Consumer

I no longer feet alone because I can go to P,EACH and be listened to by my peers and be provided with understanding and support. L.S.P., REACH of Denton Consumer

REACH provides me with the referrals I need. Through REACH's skills classes I have learned which businesses are already accessible for socializing in the community. REACH is a place to meet other people with disabilities and make friends. W.A., REACH of Fort Worth Consumer

REACH has affected my life in numerous ways. I have been given an outlet to meet friends, air opinions, experience new things, and be supportive towards other people with disabilities. I have learned many pieces of useful information and appreciate the fun, caring, and candid staff.S.A., PEACH of Denton Consumer

It is a pleasure to be associated with REACH. For the last two years REACH has been really dedicated to helping me put my life back together again. Without REACH, it would be a lot harder to get my life back together. Thank you. H.K., REACH of Dallas Consumer

REACH which stands for Rehabilitation, Education, and Advocacy for Citizens with Disabilities (formerly Handicaps), is a North Texas based nonprofit corporation with the dual mission of providing services for people with disabilities so that they are empowered to lead self-directed lives and educating the general public on disability-related topics in order to promote a barrier-free community.

In order to accomplish this dual mission, REACH operates the REACH Resource Centers on Independent Living in Fort Worth, Dallas, Denton and Plano. The centers are resource agencies, not residential programs.
