Self-Advocates
Self-advocates' stories and voices are powerful. They provide experience, knowledge, and expertise to help organizations and agencies effectively support the needs of individuals with IDD.
The Voices of Individuals with Community Experience (VOICE) Committee is a group of self-advocates who help guide the Golisano Institute's work. Members use their lived experience to shape programs, materials, and training for nurses.
