Training and Education

• We train and educate people with disabilities and parents of children with disabilities about their rights under state and federal disability rights laws so they can use the laws as tools to challenge exclusion and discrimination and advocate effectively for full participation in the lives of their communities.
• We educate lawyers, service providers, government officials, and many others about disability civil rights laws and policies.
• For over two decades, we have operated a disability rights legal clinic in collaboration with law schools in the San Francisco Bay Area including U.C. Berkeley School of Law.
