Disability Services

The Office of Disability Services oversees The Loan Closet of Howard County.  The office serves individuals from youth to end of life.  We promote a person-centered approach to ensure all persons with disabilities have access to the resources they need though out their lifespan.  We work closely with the other DCRS offices & our partners to ensure there is no wrong door to receive the resources you need.

Commission for Transitioning Students with Disabilities

The Commission for Transitioning Students with Disabilities was established by statute in September 2016 to advise the county government in establishing an effective, efficient, and comprehensive delivery of services that will most successfully meet the transition needs of Howard County students with disabilities as they transition from high school to postsecondary education, employment, and adult life.
