The Disability Rights Center of Kansas (DRC) is a private non-profit agency dedicated to advocating for disability rights. Unlike disability service providers, DRC offers free advocacy and legal services to individuals with disabilities. With a team of attorneys and advocates, DRC provides various services to address disability rights needs.

This includes intake and assessment, legal representation if rights were violated under state or federal law, advocacy representation, self-advocacy assistance, and information and referral services. DRC carefully selects cases based on factors such as disability status, the legitimacy of the rights issue, available resources, and alignment with their advocacy priorities. As the official Protection and Advocacy system for Kansas, DRC has specific powers to investigate abuse or neglect and protect the rights of individuals with disabilities.

Beyond their legal and advocacy work, DRC also engages in public policy issues, education on disability rights, and promoting equality, law, and justice. While they cannot handle certain cases like workers' compensation or divorce, DRC remains committed to championing the rights of people with disabilities in Kansas
