About
Protection & Advocacy System for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities. In the mid-1970's, Congress established a unique, innovative, experimental initiative to safeguard the rights of people with developmental disabilities. Under this program, each governor was empowered to designate one independent organization to serve as a legal advocate and watchdog for people with developmental disabilities in the state. In this role, Equip for Equality provides self-advocacy assistance and legal services to remedy individual rights violations and pursues systems-change initiatives to benefit the disability community. These initiatives include facility monitoring, systems litigation to promote community living, public policy advocacy, training on disability rights, and other social change strategies.
