Policy Resources

Although self-advocacy takes many forms, one major avenue for impacting systems change for people with disabilities is to advocate with local and state lawmakers for better laws and additional funding for disability programs and services. Many disability organizations, like those listed below, have resources devoted to organizing this type of advocacy and encourage the participation of self-advocates.
