Serving Benton, Henry, Johnson, Lafayette, Pettis and Saline County, Missouri.
Where there's a WILS, there's a way to access resources.

Resources

Disability information and referral resources are easier to find when you reach out to WILS specialists.  Through a network of resources, WILS services offers individuals information on disability issues, referring consumers to the appropriate people at WILS or other agencies, for assistance with concerns an individual may have, or a wide range of disability-related topics.

Let WILS assist you in making a connection to valuable community disability resources and allow us to support you in your independence.  For WILS disability information and referral resources, please call 855-945-7929 or send an email to info@w-ils.org.
