Dayle McIntosh Center for the Disabled - Anaheim, Laguna Hills, CA

Locations: Anaheim, Laguna Hills, CA.

Who We Are: Dayle McIntosh Center for the Disabled (DMC) is the only Independent Living Center in Orange County. Our namesake and inspiration, the late Ms. Dayle McIntosh, was a person with quadriplegia. She only had use of her fingers and thumbs, yet she lived independently, held a job and volunteered her time to help others. Since we opened our doors in 1977, we have provided people with disabilities —of all ages and from all walks of life—with the knowledge, support, skills and tools to live richer, fuller and more independent lives.

Our mission is to advance the empowerment, equality, integration and
full participation of people with disabilities in the community.

What We Do: Very simply we help people with disabilities live independently and succeed in every area they desire. Dayle McIntosh Center is not a residential program, but a consumer-driven organization that provides a broad menu of on-site and remote services.
