The Self-Advocate Network: For Self-Advocates, by Self-Advocates
Saturday January 25, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm CST
Self-advocates have unique skills and experiences. Yet they are often excluded from projects about their lives. Most project staff want to work with people with IDD. But finding each other and working well together is hard. This session describes our new Self-Advocate Network. It is based on our participatory action research funded by the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities. We teach people with IDD, researchers, and project staff to work well together. We will share our training, tools, and resources. Attendees will leave our session ready to work together to do amazing things!
