What Disability Law and Advocacy Services Are Available to Help?
A number of agencies provide disability law and advocacy related services to physically and mentally disabled persons. Such agencies are available both nationally and in each US state. The importance of the advocacy of rights of disabled individuals provided under disability law cannot be understated. Disabled individuals as a group face far too many challenges in life and require help to be aware of their rights to equality with regard to other US citizens.
Unfortunately, some people exploit others who may be weaker than them in any aspect. The US federal government and state governments have therefore enacted laws to provide comprehensive protection to disabled persons. However, disabled persons as a class are usually not firm enough to fight their own discrimination cases against exploiters.
