Every day individuals advocate on behalf of themselves or others to communicate needs, share experiences, and take steps to get what they want and need. The online Advocacy Toolkit created by Genetic Alliance, Parent to Parent USA, and Family Voices provides individuals with genetic conditions and their families tools and strategies to advocate to get what they need. Personal stories are included to illustrate positive examples of successful advocacy.
