Description

Many Oklahoma self-advocates have stated that most of the trainings they have attended have not been geared to their needs and have not been generated from their own experience and perspectives. Oklahoma self-advocates asked their disability partners to "Teach Us to Do It Ourselves". This presentation will demonstrate a successful collaboration in the development and training of a leadership curriculum by self-advocates.
