You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

 

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams.

What is Disability Rights South Carolina?

Disability Rights South Carolina (DRSC) is a statewide nonprofit serving as
the protection and advocacy system (P&A) for South Carolina. P&As are the
only legally based advocacy organization established by Congress to protect
the rights of all individuals with disabilities. Our mission is to protect
and advance the legal, civil and human rights of people with disabilities in
South Carolina. We provide a variety of services to include client
assistance, training, abuse & neglect investigation, legal assistance, and
advocacy for change.

How Can Disability Rights South Carolina Help You?

DRSC is here to make sure that laws protecting the rights of people with
disabilities are upheld. We start by trying to help people understand their
rights and how to advocate for those rights. When self-advocacy does not
resolve the issue, we determine how to best address these challenges, which
may include legal action. We also work closely with lawmakers, agency
directors and other stakeholders, to ensure they understand disability laws,
and how their policies and systems impact these laws.

We Need Input From Individuals with Disabilities and Their Families!

We want to ensure that our work is having the greatest impact on people with
disabilities. To do this, we set annual goals and priorities that will guide
our work.  Before we write goals and priorities, we take the following
steps.

.       Review state and local data, and our own internal data.

.       Gather input from the community, by participating in agency and
advocacy group meetings.

.       Sending a survey to community members for their input. 

We want to hear from you! Please complete this survey.
