Disability Resource Network DRN is dedicated to improving the lives of people living with disabilities and providing educational

The Disability resource Network is dedicated to providing young adults with the skills they need to become positive and productive members of their communities. We encourage our clients to become actively involved in directing their own lives, across the spectrum of academic, vocational, living, social and, recreational domains. We believe that regardless of disability, our young people can learn

to make their own decisions, and achieve self-determination. We strive to put an end to the societal stigma that often attaches to disability, and eliminate obstacles to inclusion, both real and perceived. We believe that by both encouraging young adults to live independently, and educating our communities, we can help motivate society as a whole to joining the effort to remove physical, social, and opportunistic barriers that currently exist.

It is with deep sadness that we share the unexpected passing of our Director, John Esteves, on Saturday. John’s leadership, dedication, and unwavering passion had a profound impact on our community, and his loss is deeply felt by our staff, clients—both past and present—and their families.

During this time of transition, DRN remains committed to continuing the work John cared so deeply about. We ask for your support as we honor his legacy and carry forward his vision for our organization.

In order to honor his life and allow our staff to attend his final services, DRN will be closed Monday March 30, 2026.

We thank everyone for their thoughts, condolences, and support during this difficult time.
