Community Integration
Advocacy, Inc. believes that people with disabilities have the same rights as other citizens to freedom, equality, equal protection under the law, and control over their own lives. These rights must be honored if individuals with disabilities are to be fully included as valued citizens in the relationships and opportunities of community life. We support people with disabilities in their efforts to experience full participation and benefits of community life, within Board-adopted priorities, through individual casework (including litigation); class action litigation; technical assistance to private attorneys representing individuals with disabilities; development and dissemination of materials on a variety of community integration issues; training for individuals, family members, advocates and professionals in the field; collaboration with individuals and organizations with expertise on community living and person directed services; and advocacy for public policies and funding that support quality community living opportunities and experiences for individuals of all ages and across all disabilities.
