Protection and Advocacy

  • Abuse and Neglect
    - Abuse and Neglect Consumer Information Sheet - National Citizens Coalition
      for Nursing Home Reform 

  • Public Accommodations
    - Public Accommodations Self-Advocacy Toolkit - Equal Rights Center. When faced with
      discrimination, it is often difficult to figure out what steps you must take to resolve the
      issue. This toolkit is specifically designed to help people with disabilities identify and
      address problems they encounter when attempting to access any public place. 


  • Reasonable Accommodations and Modifications
    - Reasonable Accommodations and Modifications Accessibility Self-Advocacy Toolkit -
      Equal Rights Center. People with disabilities have the right to live in the community of
      their choice. Accessibility laws ensure that, either through structural changes to the
      building (generally, a “reasonable modification”) or changes in rules and policies
      (generally, a “reasonable accommodation”), people with disabilities have equal
      access and enjoyment of their home. This toolkit is specifically designed to help
      people with disabilities identify and address problems they encounter in housing.


  • Victim Prevention
    - Identity Theft - National Crime Prevention Council
    - Protect Yourself from Violent Crime
