Disability Rights Pennsylvania (DRP) serves as Pennsylvania's protection and advocacy agency for people with disabilities, focusing on safeguarding their civil rights. It aims to enable individuals to live in their communities with needed services, access inclusive education, and remain free from discrimination, abuse, neglect, and segregation while retaining control over their services. The organization provides legal, advocacy, policy, training, information, and referral services to thousands who seek support each year. Based in Harrisburg, it operates as a mid-sized legal services group dedicated to this mission.
Its primary constituency includes adults and children seeking to safeguard civil rights and access needed supports. A notable recent development is a 2022 collaboration with Penn State to study the voting experiences of people with disabilities.
