Disability Rights Connecticut
About
Connecticut's federally mandated protection and advocacy agency for people with disabilities. It gives information and referral about disability rights, short-term advocacy help and, for cases within its yearly focus areas, legal representation, and it investigates reports of abuse and neglect of people with disabilities. Its Client Assistance Program helps people having problems with state job services (BRS or BESB).
