The following Terms of Use, if followed, will increase the likelihood of your comments being approved for posting and apply to all cyber platforms operated by Disability Rights Washington (DRW).</p>
<p>Any comments, posts, or submissions you make must be original or include attribution to the source(s) even if the source is not copyrighted material.</p>

<p>The exception for requesting services is that we strongly encourage you to use the DRW website to request publications available from DRW.</p>

Comments we know or suspect to be inaccurate which are presented as factual.
We will err on the side of caution here.
