The Maryland Disability Law Center originated
as the Maryland Advocacy Unit for the Develop-
mentally Disabled which was created in 1977 by the
Governor (Executive Order 01.01.1977.07). Es-
tablished in accordance with federal statute (EL.
94-103), the Advocacy Unit became the State's
official agency designated to protect and advocate
the rights of the developmentally disabled in
Maryland. The designation qualified the Unit for
federal funding under the Developmental Dis-
abilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (EL.
95-603). By chat funding, attorneys represent
developmentally disabled persons with legal
problems in areas such as abuse and neglect, dis-
crimination, special education, and public benefit
entitlements.
In 1984, the Board of Directors renamed the
Advocacy Unit as the Maryland Disability Law
Center. This name change reflected a change in
function: the office no longer represented only the
developmentally disabled, those whose disability
becomes evident before age 22. Instead, the Center
had become a statewide legal services program for
persons disabled by impairments such as cerebral
palsy, mental retardation, learning disabilities, men-
tal illness, and deafness.
The Center is funded by a number of sources
besides its federal "protection and advocacy" grant.
The Maryland Legal Services Corporation finan-
cially aids the Center to represent indigent disabled
persons tliroughout the State in noncriminal mat-
ters. The Department of Human Resources funds
