The Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program (ADAP) protects and promotes the civil rights of children and adults with physical, cognitive, and mental health disabilities in Alabama. We are Alabama’s only statewide, cross-disability, comprehensive legal advocacy organization. We believe that persons with disabilities are entitled to equal access to the opportunities afforded to all members of American society.

Annually, ADAP solicits input from persons with disabilities, their families, and other members of the disability community to identify priority issue areas on which we should focus. These priority issues frame the advocacy services that we undertake and to which we allocate ADAP’s resources.
