The purpose of the Assistance Dog Advocacy Project\u00a0is to educate the community and people with disabilities on assistance dogs. ADAP also works with other organizations to advocate for assistance dogs and their handlers. ADAP is different than some advocacy groups as we educate all sides on their legal rights. We try to promote education as the way to solve any problems that may arise on housing, work, and public access in the community.<\/p>\n

ADAP works closely with Service Dog Central (website and forum) on several of our activities. \u00a0 Service Dog Central<\/a><\/p>\n
