Disability Law Colorado

What We Do: In nearly 50 years, Disability Law Colorado has made a significant difference in protecting the civil rights of Coloradans with disabilities:

• Community-based services: We help Coloradans with disabilities access services and advocate for themselves.
• Educational advocacy: We ensure that students with disabilities get the accommodations they need for free, quality education.
• Employment support: We promote vocational training and help Coloradans with disabilities overcome employment barriers so they can secure meaningful jobs, achieve greater independence, and contribute their skills to their communities.
• Affordable housing: We confront housing discrimination and fight for accessible, affordable options so that Coloradans have a safe place to live.
• Facility monitoring: We work to ensure that people in residential treatment facilities receive proper care by regularly inspecting these locations, reviewing their practices, and addressing any issues of mistreatment, neglect, or inadequate services.
• People in the criminal justice system: Our investigators routinely visit correctional facilities and interact with inmates with disabilities to ensure they receive fair treatment, accommodations and other necessary resources.
• Guardianship: We assist people with disabilities in modifying or terminating guardianships, providing legal support and self-advocacy resources for independence.
