Our Lives Drive Our Mission
Compass Rose Disability Advocates is a team with over 40 years experience in the field of disability services, as well as each of us having personal experience with life with disabilities.
We believe that that each person with a disability should be able to achieve their goals, and that they, as well as their family members deserve, knowledgeable, compassionate advocates who charge affordable rates to work toward those goals together,
Our Commitment to the Community
Even though we are a for profit firm by definition:
-
We provide a sliding fee scale for families with incomes up to 379% of the Federal Poverty level, with discounts of up to 56% off our standard rates. You won't find that anywhere else!
-
We provide probono advocacy services to an average of 50 children in foster care each year.
-
Every dollar you pay for our services not only helps your family, but others as well.
