Disability Rights Arizona (DRAZ) is a nonprofit public interest law firm and the Protection and Advocacy agency for the state of Arizona, focused on safeguarding the legal rights of children and adults with disabilities. Based in Phoenix, the organization provides free legal services, advocacy, and resources to individuals facing disability-related legal problems, aiming to help people participate fully in society without barriers. Operating within the nonprofit sector, DRAZ serves as a key resource in Arizona for defense and promotion of rights for a broad range of disabilities. The firm-oriented model situates it at the intersection of legal aid and disability advocacy, pursuing systemic and individual impact through free assistance and information. A recent development involves collaboration with partner organizations to develop information resources addressing informal discipline scenarios common to families with children who have challenging behaviors at school.
