Executive Director's Message
Helping Mississippians with disabilities break down barriers to independence best describes what our agency does on a daily basis. In 2009, the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitatin Services Project START Division continued a successful journey of educating, training, and providing services that improve the lives of people with disabilities, their family members, and rehabilitation professionals.
I invite you to share in our successes as you read these stories of consumers and families whose lives have been touched by MDRS’ Project START. Of great importance to the success of our program is partnerships and opportunities formed with the University Medical Center, St. Dominic Rehabilitation Program, Baptist Rehabilitation Program, University Rehabilitation Center, Department of Education, Department of Human Services, and various skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies.
Staff of Project START are always accessible by phone, email, or fax to assist individuals who may have questions or need assistance with Assistive Technology. Such requests may be for training, trial use of a device, assistance with finding resources, repairs of durable medical equipment, or help with choosing the right device. Project START continues to be a national leader in efforts to improve access to assistive technology devices and services. At MDRS’s Project START we look forward to helping people enhance their independence through the use of assistive technology.
Sincerely,
H.S. “Butch” McMillan, Executive Director
Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services
