Description
With the growing power of the self-advocacy movement, community organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance and value of including individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities as full members of their governance boards and advisory councils. Many individuals with IDD have not had opportunities and experiences to prepare them for these roles. This poster will focus on a newly developed program to address this need--My Voice.
