Disability Rights Wisconsin is an advocacy and protection group for individuals with disabilities (http://www.disabilityrightswi.org). The aims of the group are outlined clearly on the "About Us" page. In addition to providing these services, it also aims to provide access to services through advocacy and legal expertise. It achieves these goals by providing information that is easily accessed on the website such as resources and a direct link to access services from Disability Rights Wisconsin. The information available through the website is relevant and provides answers to common questions by outlining priority issues that DRW staff can assist with, program list, who to contact and how to contact them, and types of issues that the agency is not able to help with. The information on the website appears to all come from credible sources such as from laws, government, and overlooked by staff and board members. There are links provided to additional resources on the "Links" page for further reading and information. The website is maintained and updated on a regular basis, and new information is posted on the home page. Overall, the website does appear to meet quality standards in accordance to the Discern instrument, as well as the Hoss-Hanson article.
