What ADAPT Is :

ADAPT of Texas is a grassroots disability rights group.  With the cry "We Will Ride!" ADAPT of Texas started in 1985 with the fight for lifts on buses. We just had our 21st Anniversary.  ADAPT's advocacy lead to Capital Metro becoming the first fully accessible mainline transit system in Texas.  Since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, ADA, in 1990 ADAPT has turned our main focus to community attendant services.  Our new mottos are: "Our Homes, Not Nursing Homes" and "Free Our People."  We tackle other issues as well:

• Access and the ADA
• Affordable, accessible housing
• Attendant services  
• Better wages & benefits for attendants
• Curb cuts and community access
• Transportation (buses, taxis, Greyhound...)   
• And More

Get in touch with us and get involved!  We have groups in different parts of Texas and we're part of the National ADAPT Community.  Check it out.
