Yep, you might want to try your State's Protection and Advocacy agency.
Every state has one.

initially lodging a formal complaint would not necessarily require hiring an
attorney. I'm not sure where you're located but some of the disability
rights organizations might be interested in helping you pursue this. As a
paralegal I deal with these issues regularly so if needed you can contact me
off list at ckrugman at sbcglobal.net.
