Company History

Congress called for creating an organization within each state and territory to advocate for the rights of people with developmental disabilities. In 1978, Governor Jerry Brown designated Disability Rights California, then known as Protection & Advocacy, Inc. (PAI), as this state’s organization with headquarters in Sacramento.
