Alliance of Disability Advocates

Alliance of Disability Advocates ADA supports people with disabilities to fully participate in their communities without boundaries. We believe every individual can be independent.

We believe people who experience a disability deserve equal opportunities and are the best experts at determining what’s best for them. We are driven by the vision to see individuals in North Carolina who experience a disability living in the communities of their choice and empowered to address their own needs. We do not compromise on these non-negotiable principles that guide our decision-making:



Service
We don’t reach goals for individuals; we teach the skills that allow them to do for themselves. Inclusion
We advocate for individuals with disabilities to be included in integrated environments in the classroom, employment, housing, leadership roles, and in discussions that impact their lives and the disability community. Respect
Individuals with disabilities should have the right to control their own lives and make decisions about what’s best for them. Dignity
We advocate for equal rights and access, not special treatment. Empathy
“Disability” is not a negative word. It means we are more adaptable. We are proud of who we are, and the barriers we have overcome have only made us stronger.
