Accessibility Services

MERIL is dedicated to the removal of barriers, be they physical or attitudinal, which prevent persons with disabilities from fully taking part in all of the activities in their community that they choose.

To strive toward “A Barrier-Free Northwest Missouri,” these services are available:

• training in the concept of Universal Design
• coordination of home modifications
• accessibility surveys and follow-up for individuals, governmental offices, polling locations and businesses
• educating the community on barrier removal and its importance
• volunteer opportunities for persons with disabilities to further the barrier removal efforts
• collaboration and community partnerships working toward accessibility
• assistance with seeking durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, canes and ramps

Those organizations who make outstanding efforts toward barrier removal or feel they are already barrier-free may apply for the MERIL Seal of Accessibility.
