The Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) has a useful member list (N.B. most of these are DPOs but some are not): http://www.c-c-d.org/rubriques.php?rub=organization.php 

As others said before, there are probably thousands of DPOs in the U.S. and no centralized database. Any other lists or relevant resources would be helpful so thanks for sharing!

Probably there are hundreds, if not thousands, but no central directory.

 

There are People First chapters in many states and local areas, which are self-advocacy organizations led by and for people with I/DD. There are ADAPT chapters in many cities and other localities as well, which have historically been primarily people with physical disabilities. There are chapters of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, the National Federation of the Blind, the American Council of the Blind, and the National Association of the Deaf in many states. There are also national organizations like DREAM (Disability Rights Education, Activism, and Mentoring), National Black Deaf Advocates, Coalición Nacional de Personas con Discapacidades, Harriet Tubman Collective, Asian Pacific Islanders with Disabilities, Self Advocates Becoming Empowered, and of course, many others.

One collection of CILs, but there are many other orgs run by people with disabilities independent of this listing, such as ASAN, ADAPT, etc.:

Hi,

Is there a list of the UK ones that you speak of?

I would also be interested in the USA groups and contact details if anyone has them.

Dale.

Subject: American DPOs

Here in the UK we have about 400 Disabled People's Organisations (DPOs), most of which were created by, employ and are run by disabled people. Do you have such organisations in America, and if so where might I get an up to date list of these organisations with their email contact details?
Many thanks
Theo Blackmore
