AA Advantage Care
Providers Alliance for Community Services of Texas (PACSTX)
Providers Alliance for Community Services of Texas is the premier association in Texas for long-term care providers offering services in the Home and Community-based Services (HCS), Texas Home Living (TxHmL) waiver programs and in intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities or related conditions (ICF-IIDs).
Coalition of Texans with Disabilities
Founded in 1978, CTD is the largest and oldest member-driven cross-disability organization in the state. “Cross-disability” refers to all types of disabilities and different functional needs, rather than a particular disability or subset of disabilities. CTD envisions a future where all Texans with all disabilities may work, live, learn, play, and participate fully in the community of their choice.
Disability Rights of Texas
Because people with disabilities are at a greater risk for abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violation of legal and human rights, protection and advocacy organizations like Disability Rights Texas are needed. Their mission is to help people with disabilities understand and exercise their rights under the law, ensuring their full and equal participation in society.
Department of Family and Protective Services
The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) works with communities to promote safe and healthy families and protect children and vulnerable adults from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. They do this through investigations, services and referrals, and prevention programs.
