• National Association of Protection and Advocacy Systems, Inc. (NAPAS) is the national organization of "Protection and Advocacy" (P&A) agencies funded by the federal government to provide legal services to people with disabilities.  There is a listing of each state's P&A.  Frankly, our experience is spotty at best in terms of real help.  However, continually pushing them to help is probably a good thing.  It is what they are paid to do.
