Disability Rights Arkansas

Disability Rights Arkansas provides equal rights and public access protection for people with all types of disabilities. We advocate for basic rights (like access to public places), guard against abuse and neglect in public facilities (such as the use of deadly restraints or the seclusion of children) and provide legal oversight of state agencies to ensure accountability in housing, treatment, employment, education and other direct services.

P&As are the only legally based advocacy organization established by Congress to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities. As a part of that mandate, every state and U.S. territory has a P&A system in place working to provide legal protection and advocacy services for people with disabilities.
