DRT may provide the following FREE services: Referral and Resource Connection, Investigation of Abuse &amp; Neglect, Advocacy Services, Legal Representation, Education &amp; Outreach, and Public Policy Advocacy. Each issue is unique and will be considered for available services.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Lexend, sans-serif;letter-spacing: 0.3px\">How is Disability Rights Tennesse providing an inclusive experience for all?<\/h3><p>DRT is rooted in the values of equality, justice, and inclusion. DRT&#8217;s services are provided for free to all Tennesseans with disabilities regardless of race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, or immigration status. Furthermore, our work is driven by an understanding that people with disabilities are complex and unique individuals with intersecting identities whose distinctive needs must be taken into consideration to provide effective services. And we acknowledge that people with disabilities, particularly people of color with disabilities experience abuse, neglect, and discrimination disproportionately against White\/Caucasian people with disabilities. This context and vision drive all our work to be rooted in person-first and client-led services and guide our organization&#8217;s structure and hiring practices.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3bf2856 disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3bf2856\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b6dec33\" data-id=\"b6dec33\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cde91a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5cde91a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"font-family: Lexend, sans-serif;letter-spacing: 0.3px\">How does accessibility play a part in disability advocacy?<\/h3><p>Accessibility is essential in advocacy work.

DRT follows <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/ada-compliance-in-tennessee\/\">Tennessee ADA guidelines<\/a> for physical accessibility, provides effective communication through interpreting services, bilingual staff, licensed ASL staff, the use of plain language in internal and external communications, accommodates the needs of the blind and visually impaired, considers and accommodates the needs of neurodiverse populations, and so much more.<\/p><p>DRT prioritizes the interpretation of our events and videos in ASL and Spanish. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4ZO_Klo_9rcw_nguyPc2dw\">Visit DRT&#8217;s YouTube.<\/a><\/p><p>Disability Rights Tennessee is also thrilled to offer the <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/\">Recite Me toolbar<\/a> to its web users.
