Our Programs

Systems Advocacy

Community Advocates represents the interests of children and adults with developmental disabilities in working with other agencies and systems. We address the broad issues of the development and delivery of quality services, policies and funding.

As we identify needs for groups of people we advocate with other organizations to alter services, create new services, and incorporate new agencies to meet the needs.

We promote a vision of the kind of community that best supports those we serve and includes them in all aspects of community life.

We facilitate cooperation, coordination, and the flow of information among agencies, assisting them to carry out their missions to best serve people with developmental disabilities and their families.

We monitor the work of other agencies, both informally and formally. With our Dignified Lifestyle Program we visit group homes.

We promote a vision of the kind of community that best supports those we serve and includes them in all aspects of community life.
