Description

This presentation shares findings of a survey that examined the long-term advocacy activities of graduates of a 40-hour volunteer advocacy training. Results will be presented about sustained advocacy activities, standardized measures of volunteering, correlates of advocacy rates, and a comparison of advocates to non-advocates. Findings will be discussed in the context of supporting families of individuals with disabilities and creating effective training programs for advocates in special education.
