The Office of Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities (P&A) is an independent state agency that promotes, protects and defends the civil and human rights of people with disabilities. Every year, P&A develops priorities in response to the needs of people with disabilities. These priorities determine the issues that receive special attention during the year. We determine these priorities partly in response to what people tell us at our annual forum.

If you are an individual with a disability or someone who cares about disability issues, we want to hear from you! Interested members of the public are invited to make brief statements about disability -related experiences and issues that are important to them.

A sign language interpreter will be present at this forum. Contact P&A at least 3 business days before the event at (860) 297-4310, if other accommodations (materials in large print, assistive listening systems, etc.) are needed.

Please refrain from wearing scented products to the forum.
