North Dakota Protection and Advocacy Project (P&A)

“North Dakota Protection & Advocacy Project (P&A) has a big job to do with limited funds and staff. To make the most of available resources, P&A selects focus areas to guide the administration of services to individuals with disabilities who fit into specific federal program eligibility guidelines.

With input from people with disabilities, family members, and the public P&A chooses focus areas that include a variety of important disability-related issues. Nearly all P&A services provided will be within these focus areas. P&A completes federal reports that detail progress and achievements made on each program’s focus areas; these reports are available upon request.

P&A may accept cases outside of focus areas if the presenting issue is egregious and all other criteria have been met. Limited resources are available for cases outside of focus areas.”
