Disablement

From the smallest child in need of therapy to a senior living her golden years in a group home, UCP of North Texas is here for people with disabilities. Since 1953 we have provided the best care possible in response to the ever-changing needs of children and adults with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.

Easter Seals provides help, hope and answers for individuals with disabilities and their families. Through 14 unique services, we meet specific needs of the North Texas community.

Deaf Action Center (DAC) was established in the fall of l975, at the request of a group of local Deaf citizens who recognized the need for an agency dedicated to eliminating barriers for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Founded by visionaries, John and Elizabeth Criswell, Deaf Action Center was conceived to act as an advocate and service provider, catering to the unique needs of people with hearing loss. The Deaf Action Center was initially organized under the Dallas Council for the Deaf, but as the Council had little experience in providing direct client services, the Deaf Action Center project would soon become an entity in itself. On August 29, 1977, Deaf Action Center was incorporated as an agency, and moved to its present location at 3115 Crestview Drive, Dallas, TX 75235. Elizabeth
