Service Information
The Native American Disability Law Center is a private nonprofit organization that advocates for the legal rights of Native Americans with disabilities. Through advocacy and education, we empower Native people with disabilities to lead independent lives in their own communities. Law Center staff tell callers about their legal rights and suggest ways they can resolve their problems. We also tell people how they can contact other offices and agencies to get services. If you have a problem related to your disability that falls within our priorities, a Law Center attorney or advocate may accept your case for representation.
Mission Statement: The Law Center's mission is to advocate so that the rights of Native Americans with disabilities in the Four Corners area are enforced, strengthened and brought in harmony with their communities. Our advocates work to ensure that Native Americans with disabilities have access to justice and are empowered and equal members of their communities and nations. The issues we address include civil rights, special education, health care, and rights to public and private services. Our staff investigates abuse and neglect in care facilities, and provides rights-based training for people with disabilities, their families, educators and service providers.
