Legal Advocacy
There are many organizations that provide legal support for people with disabilities.
These organizations support both individuals who are forced to seek legal recourse and
the disability community in general with legal advocacy for systems change. Although there
are many laws that protect the rights of people with disabilities, they are useless if people
do not know about the law or understand how these laws can help them. Legal advocacy
organizations provide training and information as well as direct support in challenging
enforcement of the law. Information regarding the focus of these legal advocacy organizations
is generally included in their individual descriptions on our website along with contact information.
