COMMUNITY
About Self-Determination in the CommunityWhether you are a coach, friend, or a community worker, your role in advocating for those with disabilities is vital. This portion of the website is devoted to encourage and inspire community advocates to find resources which build stronger advocacy skills so that they in turn can help amplify the voices of individuals with disabilities through developing skills of self-determination.
