This grant is for the purpose of providing crucial regional support to self-advocacy organizations dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Each funded project will strategically define its ‘region,’ encompassing a minimum of four states, to ensure comprehensive coverage. A key component involves establishing a democratic board or advisory committee. This committee will be responsible for appointing representatives to a regional coalition, thereby fostering widespread participation. The ultimate goal is to enhance the visibility and impact of the self-advocacy movement across both state and regional levels, ensuring that the voices of individuals with disabilities are heard and acted upon effectively.
