Protecting Your Rights.
We work to protect and advance the rights of people with disabilities across Nevada.
Whether you’re facing discrimination, having trouble accessing services, or need help understanding your rights, we’re here to help. We provide information and referrals, training and technical assistance, legal and non-legal advocacy, outreach, and education.
Our services are free, and our goal is to help people with disabilities understand their rights, advocate for themselves, and have equal access to opportunities in their communities.
Supporting Your Voice
The Nevada Disability Advocacy and Law Center (NDALC) assists with disability-related issues such as discrimination, abuse and neglect, education, employment, community living, voting, healthcare, and access to services.
Everyone who contacts NDALC goes through the same intake process. The type and level of assistance we can provide depends on the nature of the issue, how it aligns with the annual priorities established by NDALC’s Board of Directors, and the resources available.
Whenever possible, we work to resolve issues in the simplest and most effective way. This may include providing information and resources, helping people understand their options, or supporting them as they advocate for themselves. When other approaches are not enough, NDALC may provide administrative or legal advocacy for issues that meet our priorities.
NDALC serves people with disabilities throughout Nevada in four primary ways:
Understanding your rights can help you get the services, supports, or assistance you need.
We may conduct an investigation when we believe serious abuse or neglect may have occurred.
We use legal advocacy to protect the rights of people with disabilities and address disability-related discrimination and other violations of the law.
