Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
American Disability Rights, Inc. (ADR) is a nonprofit organization, chartered to educate the public on the civil rights protections for qualified disabled Americans and advocate the proper use of a medical assistance animal when prescribed as part of an individual’s treatment plan.
Our Mission
The American Disability Rights Inc. mission is to bring a better understanding of the issues to the community through education of businesses, groups and individuals in the relevant requirements, responsibilities and protections for the disabled including public access locations and reasonable accommodations in residential, workplace or travel environments.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We strive to accomplish our mission through three major avenues.
First, through direct community education programs. This includes ADR’s self-led, digital programs for individuals, available 24/7/365 for free and ADR’s customized harassment-prevention programs scheduled for businesses and groups, led by our disabled service teams. Second, with large-scale messaging, in traditional, digital and social media including advertising and public relations opportunities. Third, with the founding of and participation in community events which offer positive exposure and advance the ADR mission.
In addition to these major avenues, ADR will utilize additional resources which directly or indirectly support the nonprofit’s mission.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Digital. We already have amassed a deep data website covering legal issues and news regarding disability rights, disability discrimination, disability impersonation, service dogs, service dogs in training, emotional support animals, therapy animals and police/military K9s.
Analog. We're launching AmDisRights "Scout" in 2023, a travelling educational platform for the general public and retail businesses. Designed to last 3 years, "Scout" is a volunteer and sponsored renovated 2002 International 3400 shuttle bus. It will allow our mission to be live, in-person, and traveling nationwide for approximately 3 years.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Digital. Step One completed. Step Two is a simple design app for mobile devices which builds on the content from Step one.
Analog. The shuttle bus has been purchased, registered and stripped on items no longer needed. In 2023 the engine will be tested completely and the interior renovated pending corporate sponsorship of selected product donations.
