Human Rights Authority
Guardianship & Advocacy Commission
is another agency that has a
Human Rights Authority unit that responds to complaints of
abuse or neglect against people with developmental disabilities.
The Human Rights Authority exists to conduct investigations of
complaints of violations of the rights of persons with disabilities.
Based on early models of a singular regional grassroots program,
the Human Rights Authority serves as a statewide framework providing
direction and standards for a largely volunteer effort.
The Human Rights Authority is comprised of nine regional authorities
throughout the State. If you need more information, please contact
their toll-free intake number at 1-866-274-8023 (If outside the State
