Mission

To raise awareness and the quality of life for all self-advocates through leadership, education, and full participation in the community.

Advocacy Work & Network

We “lead by example” and teach advocacy so people can have the life they want. We are leaders creating change in ourselves, our homes, and our community through independence, choice, decision-making, and speaking up for ourselves. We network with agencies, families, professionals, and other advocates.

Our Advocacy in Action

Here are some of our Advocacy in Action Activities:

​

1. We have certified Feeling Safe Being Safe trainers.  We can come to your agency, home, your classroom to provide Emergency Preparedness Training.

2. We provide advocacy training using the strategy THINK, PLAN, DO; a three-step process of how to make life changing decisions.

3. We train educators and families using our personal stories on the importance of transition planning and why it is important to attend and have a voice at your own meetings.
