Disability Rights Iowa

To defend and promote the human and legal rights of Iowans who have disabilities. http://tinyurl.com/contactDRI DISCLAIMER: http://tinyurl.com/hvyf2nz Disability Rights Iowa always tries to solve problems at the lowest level of resolution. In addition to providing direct help, Disability Rights Iowa advocates are trained to also help callers work through problems. By doing this, we teach callers how to advocate for themselves. Administrative and legal help are used when other strategies have not worked, and the issue fully meets the annual priorities set by the Board. All Disability Rights Iowa services are free. Issues must relate to the disability or mental illness. If you would like information about Disability Rights Iowa's priorities, please call our office. We have meetings throughout the state each year to help our Board decide what our priorities should be for the following year. Establishing annual priorities helps us focus our limited resources. Disability Rights Iowa helps people with disabilities and mental illness deal with discrimination. Help is provided in several ways depending on the priorities set by Disability Rights Iowa's Board of Directors. Problems Iowa P&A deals with may include abuse, neglect, education, employment, housing, or denial of services.
