Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Disabilities

Programs that provide assistance for individuals with disabilities who are having difficulty understanding, accessing, and/or are unaware of the full benefits and services for which they are eligible by law. Protection and advocacy programs provide legal representation and other advocacy services for all people with disabilities and endeavour to ensure full access to inclusive educational programs, financial entitlements, health care, accessible housing, transportation and productive employment opportunities. Some programs maintain a presence in facilities that care for people with disabilities where they monitor, investigate and attempt to remedy adverse conditions.
