    Re: discrimination/ADA NOT enforced

    You may also want to get in touch with some national based advocacy groups to see if they are of any assistance. I am going to list a few below along with a little bit about each group and their website.

    DREDF Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund

    http://www.dredf.org/

    Founded in 1979 by people with disabilities and parents of children with disabilities, the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, Inc. (DREDF) is a national law and policy center dedicated to protecting and advancing the civil rights of people with disabilities through legislation, litigation, advocacy, technical assistance, and education and training of attorneys, advocates, persons with disabilities, and parents of children with disabilities.

     

    National Disability Rights:

    http://www.ndrn.org

    http://napas.org

    The Protection and Advocacy (P&As) Systems and Client Assistance Programs (CAPs) comprise the nationwide network of congressionally mandated, legally based disability-rights agencies.   The National Association of Protection and Advocacy Systems, Inc. (NAPAS) is the voluntary national membership association of the P&As and CAPs and it assumes leadership in promoting and strengthening the role and performance of its members in providing quality legally based advocacy services.
