THE VISION OF THE RAPPAHANNOCK REGIONAL DISABILITIES SERVICES BOARD
Complete access for
every individual to any public space and/or opportunity within the Rappahannock
Region.
MISSION STATEMENT
To increase the awareness of the capabilities and needs of people with physical and sensory disabilities and to promote the inclusion of all people with disabilities in all community life.
WHAT IS A DISABILITY SERVICES BOARD (DSB)
In 1992, the General Assembly legislated the development of the Disability Services Boards (DSBs) to assist localities in identifying and addressing the needs of persons with physical and sensory disabilities in their communities. The boards advise state and local government agencies and, through incentive grants, leverage private and public dollars to improve service delivery and public awareness. Over 500 individuals serve on Virginia's 41 Disability Services Boards, which represent every political jurisdiction in the Commonwealth.
