Domestic violence (DV) is when someone uses power and control to hurt another person they know well, like a partner or family member. Abuse can show up in many forms: physical, sexual, emotional, digital, or financial. For many people with disabilities, the abuse doesn’t just target the person, it targets the support and tools that make daily life possible.

Earlier this month, Disability Rights Florida’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the organization’s proposed Goals, Priorities and Objectives (GPOs). A total of 1,344 responses were collected from this year’s survey, which was administered over an eleven-week period from June to August through largely electronic channels. Each year these surveying and policy-setting efforts help to ensure that DRF receives vital public feedback regarding the range of activities and intervention strategies that are allowable under the organization’s nine federal grants.
