The Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program (ADAP) is working full-time, but some staff are working remotely.
Please contact us if you need legal services or want to report alleged abuse/neglect.
In considering our response to the COVID-19 crisis, ADAP has been guided by two priorities: fulfilling our mission of protecting the civil rights of persons with disabilities and safeguarding the health of our staff and of the communities in which we live and work. As public health officials have made it clear that dramatic steps are required to contain the COVID-19 virus, ADAP's physical offices have closed and all staff are working remotely until further notice. We are committed to maintaining our operations to the fullest extent possible.

- Our phone line (205-348-4928) remains open. Calls will be forwarded to staff; please be patient if there is a delay in responding.
- While, as always, you can request a telephone intake appointment by calling us (205-348-4928), you will help us help you more efficiently if you use our online intake form.
- If you want to connect with a particular staff member, the best way to do so will be via email. All ADAP staff email addresses are listed here.
- All non-essential ADAP travel is suspended; we will substitute video- or tele-conferencing where possible.
- Most of the state and federal agencies, courts, schools, and community partners with whom we interact also have suspended or altered their operations. This may impact our ability to move forward with advocacy at the speed we would want. This does not mean, however, that we are stopping or that your disability-related legal issue is not important. We are still on the job and your civil rights and safety are our mission.
