The Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program promotes and advocates for the civil rights of persons with disabilities in Alabama.
Our learning modules are an interactive way to learn more about your disability, your rights, and the assistance that you are entitled to.
ADAP protects the civil rights of people with disabilities by providing case advocacy services, information and referral services, and by investigating reports of abuse and neglect.
In 2023, ADAP provided 208 persons with case advocacy services.
ADAP provided information and referral services to 1651 people.
Opened 14 new investigations into alleged abuse/neglect of people with disabilities.
ADAP believes that a self-advocate is the best advocate! Our goal is to empower you with an understanding of your rights so you can better advocate for yourself. Your life, your goals!
In addition to providing legal help to individual clients, ADAP supports the rights of people with disabilities by educating policymakers, engaging in systems change litigation, and outreach around disability rights.
We believe in a community where all are welcomed and valued. Our commitment to inclusion for people with disabilities is strengthened by communities comprising people of different races, ethnicities, religions, ages, cultural backgrounds, geographies, sexes, gender identities, and sexual orientations.
