What is WPAS?

Washington Protection and Advocacy System is a private non-profit organization that protects the rights of people with disabilities statewide.  Our mission is to advance the dignity, equality, and self-determination of people with disabilities.  We work to pursue justice on matters related to human and legal rights.

We provide free advocacy services to people with disabilities.  Contact us for:

We exist because society and service systems are not always fair or responsive to people with disabilities.  We work for change in policies, laws, and systems that promote:

    → freedom from abuse and neglect

                   → legal rights and responsibilities

                                    → adequately funded supports and services

                                                        → communities that involve everyone

WPAS is governed by a Board of Directors with help from our Advisory Councils.  These groups are made up of people with disabilities, family members and others who have an interest in disability rights.
