What is Self-Advocacy?
​
Are you new to self-advocacy? If so, you've come to the right place. Self-advocacy is simply a term used to describe the process of speaking for yourself when it comes to issues and decisions that are important in your life. You can find resources on this site that will help you understand how self-advocacy works in regard to advocating for people with disabilities, particularly intellectual and developmental disabilities, and how to get more involved in this important process.
