Title II ADA Forensic Specialist
NY State Chapter Leader
Victoria Gribbin, LMSW, is a licensed New York State social worker, ADA advocate, domestic violence advocate, and Title II ADA Forensic Specialist. She is a forensic social worker with expertise in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADAAA, 2016) and its application to Title II compliance within state family and matrimonial court system contested lawsuit services.
Her professional focus is informed by extensive education, training, and lived experience in the New York State Unified Court System, including matrimonial, family, Integrated Domestic Violence, Appellate Division, and Court of Appeals matters as a litigant and parent of a child with special needs. This experience led to her work in ADA advocacy and forensic social work.
Ms. Gribbin specializes in Title II compliance advocacy, working at the intersection of disability rights and judicial access. Her work highlights systemic barriers affecting individuals with disabilities - particularly children and domestic violence victims (and DV survivors) within court systems.
After more than 16 years of observing and addressing systemic state violations of constitutional protections, the ADA, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and IDEA, she has advanced to macro-level advocacy. Her work focuses on reforming policies and practices that impact vulnerable children and families.
She actively supports the mission of P4P MACSA and advocates for the passage of the proposed Family Justice & Accountability Act and its related federal reforms.
