How do you LEAD?
Your experience and your perspective is valuable. In fact, too many people go without engaging with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) when they make important decisions about your community, your life, your work, your home, and more. Texas Advocates wants to help you change that!
Through the LEAD program, we are giving people the training and support to make sure that they can provide input, share their opinions, and be supported to do it. Where should Texans with I/DD LEAD? Well everywhere, but here are some good examples:
Texas Advocates is confident this project will prepare its participants to be equipped to have a meaningful seat on or at various boards, committees, workgroups, meetings, etc that impact their lives, making “Nothing about us without us” not just a motto, but a reality.
How do you Learn?
Soliciting meaningful input or feedback and building diversity within your business, nonprofit, or committee is much more than just checking a box. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to know how to get actionable input and how to support diverse needs and perspectives, especially for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). But it doesn’t have to be that way - Texas Advocates can help!
The LEAD Program can connect you directly with leaders with disabilities who can provide you with you need to ensure you are receiving valuable input and meeting your diversity goals. LEAD can help you or your organizations/company:
