In 1977 the Maryland Advocacy Unit for the
Developmentally Disabled was created by Execu-
tive Order of the Acting Governor in accordance
with federal statute (P.L. 94-103). The Unit is the
State's official agency designated to protect and
advocate the rights of the developmentally dis-
abled in Maryland. It is a non-profit private cor-
poration directed by a nine-member Board of Di-
rectors. The Governor appoints the Board's
members.

The Maryland Advocacy Unit for the Develop-
mentally Disabled, Inc., (MAUDD) has devel-
oped a network of advocacy services to pursue le-
gal, administrative, and other appropriate remedies
to ensure the protection of the rights of disabled
persons who are entitled to receive treatment, ser-
vices, or habilitation within the State. MAUDD
is independent of any State agency which pro-
vides treatment, services, or habilitation to per-
sons with disabilities.

MAUDD serves disabled persons with prob-
lems in guardianship, special education, lack of
adequate services in institutions and the commu-
nity, abuse and neglect, as well as other problems
related to their disability. The present staff of
MAUDD includes attorneys, advocacy special-
ists, and social workers.
