Resources

Our advocacy staff has had extensive experience with a wide variety of advocacy issues. In the process, they have developed methods and guidelines that support people’s goals of self-advocacy. The advocates are happy to work with individuals in person to discuss these goals.

In order to encourage that independence, advocates have worked together to gather information about resources that could provide additional support to individuals with disabilities. Some of these resources are listed below. However, this is by no means a fully comprehensive list so please make an appointment with an advocate to fully explore options.
