About

There is a protection and advocacy system for people with disabilities in each state and territory. Legislation enacting this system was passed by Congress in 1975. In North Dakota, the organization designated by the Governor to serve as the protection and advocacy system is the North Dakota Protection & Advocacy Project, also known as P&A or Disability Rights North Dakota. P&A is an independent state agency established in 1977 to advance the human and legal rights of people with disabilities. P&A strives to create an inclusive society that values everyone.
