Disability Rights Pennsylvania Priorities and Objectives Survey for 2027

Every year, Disability Rights Pennsylvania asks the public to tell us about issues that are important to individuals with disabilities. When you answer, please do so based on your experience and relationship with the people with disabilities in your life if you are not an individual with a disability.

Disability Rights Pennsylvania (DRP) would like to know what advocacy and legal issues you think are most important. This survey will help DRP staff, Board of Directors, and Mental Health Advisory Council decide how to focus our services and limited federal resources. Please take a moment to help us select our goals for the next year. DRP needs your thoughts by July 17, 2026.

Thank you!
