Communication Support: If the person being referred needs support to communicate with us (ie: guardian or support staff to assist, video call, ASL interpreter, Spanish speaking advocate, etc) please describe here.

Please tell us about the situation for which the person is requesting advocacy. If you are not sure if the situation or issue falls into ACL's Scope of Advocacy, please see the Referral Guide linked at the top of this page.

Demographic Information: The ACL does not charge fees for services, so in order to keep our doors open, we apply for funding from various sources. These funders require us to report on the demographics (ethnicity, zip code, age, etc.) of the people we serve. Without this funding, the ACL would be unable to provide our current level of advocacy, support, and training. We understand that demographic information is sensitive, and we assure you no specific information is shared about the person or any member of their family. All information is used for program planning and evaluation. The information reported to funders is separated from any identifying information. It is totaled to show the overall impact of the work we do. This information will not affect any advocacy the person will receive. Thank you for your assistance in our efforts to continue to provide advocacy, support, and education free of charge.
