A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
One of our members lived in an institution for the first 20 years of her life. She barely spoke when she first came to a dance hosted by a local chapter. Through engaging in the trainings we hosted, she became a strong self-advocate speaking out for all people with disabilities. This work gained eventually led to a job, a strong network of friends, and improved access to services.
