Many of the fifty states have advocacy and protection services for persons with disabilities. Their goal is to protect, promote, and expand the rights of the disabled. General beliefs across the board are that:
- Persons with disabilities should have the same opportunity to participate in the community as persons without disabilities.
- Persons with disabilities have the right to reasonable accommodations that are needed for full participation.
- Persons with disabilities have the right to be afforded meaningful choices and to make informed decisions.
