Accessibility Accommodations

Organizations who participate in the Advocacy U Resource Center are committed to insuring universal access to advocacy leadership and training information.  This page provides information about resources that can assist both individuals and organizations with accessibility accommodations.  This list is intended as a starting point.  It is understood that resource availability will vary by location.  Visitors to the Advocacy U website are encouraged to contact us with recommendations for additional listings that should be included. Our aim is to support universal access to the content and training opportunities that are available through Advocacy U.  

 

The offices listed are primarily state-level offices. Even if an office is not close to your home, they can usually put you in touch with resources in your community, as well as provide you with information and assistance. If you find that an address or number has changed or is incorrect please let us know.
