Advocacy’s role is to promote the individual and collective rights of children and adults with developmental disabilities.Advocates are trained to assist families on a variety of issues including decisions on education, vocation and residential living. Although advocates are not attorneys and cannot offer legal advice, they can offer a wide range of resources that include providing you with the necessary tools to become your own advocate.
