Education Grounded in Lived Experiences
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 Golisano Institute for Developmental Disability Nursing is committed to creating inclusive educational materials that are grounded in the realities faced by individuals and families. Self-advocates play an important role in the development of learning content and provide essential insights into the lived experiences of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
