Disability Network of Mid-Michigan

Disability Network of Mid-Michigan We promote and encourage independence for all people with disabilities. Creating access and inclusion

We believe in what is known as the Independent Living Philosophy. The Independent Living philosophy postulates that people with disabilities are the best experts on their needs, and therefore they must take the initiative, individually and collectively, in designing and promoting better solutions and must organize themselves for political power. We believe that people with disabilities have the same right to participation, to the same range of options, degree of freedom, control and self-determination in every day life and life projects that other citizens take for granted. Thus, we as IL activists seek the removal of infrastructure, institutional and attitudinal barriers in our communities.

Tomorrow is World Down Syndrome day, and we celebrate people with Down syndrome and recognize the many ways they contribute to our families, workplaces, and communities. It’s a time to raise awareness, promote acceptance, and reaffirm the importance of inclusion and belonging.

At DNMM, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live, learn, work, and participate fully in community life — with access, respect, and support. Together, we can help create communities where people of all abilities are valued and empowered.

💫 Celebrating Women’s History Month! 💫

This month, we honor the remarkable contributions of women — including women with disabilities who lead, inspire, and create change every day.

Hear from Kelly PeLong, Executive Director of DNMM, as she shares her perspective on leadership, resilience, and making space for every voice in our movement for independence and inclusion.

At DNMM, we’re proud to be guided by women who model strength, advocacy, and community — and whose lived experience shapes a more accessible, equitable world for everyone.

Peer supports adults with disabilities in maintaining or increasing their independence. DNMM's Peer group hosts events, both virtually and in-person, most weekdays. If you or a loved one is interested in joining, contact DNMM at 989-835-4041 or dnmm.org.

This month we join communities nationwide in raising awareness about multiple sclerosis (MS) — a chronic neurological condition that affects the central nervous system and millions of people and families around the world.

Whether you know someone with MS or are simply learning about it for the first time, education leads to empathy, understanding, and meaningful inclusion. Let’s amplify voices, spread resources, and build a community that supports access, treatment, and dignity for all.

Check out this library of videos on MS from the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation: https://www.youtube.com//videos
