Why We Recommend This Resource
People with disabilities sometimes need an independent organization to help them understand or protect their rights.
DRI is separate from the state agencies providing vocational rehabilitation and other disability services and may provide information, advocacy, or legal assistance involving qualifying disability-rights issues.
