Protection And Advocacy Organizations
To be an effective advocate or self-advocate, one needs to make the best use possible of available tools and support resources. The following are just a handful of suggestions for places to turn for information during one's own advocacy efforts..
Legal Aid Societies - United States
The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Memorial Site has put together a one-page linked legal aid society directory for the United States. If a case is accepted, most of these organizations will work out a reasonable fee schedule based on a person's income level.
State Advocacy Offices
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) website provides a nice directory of state protection and advocacy agencies. Advocacy offices are mandated by Congress to work with and on behalf of individuals with disabilities.
