Self-Advocacy is about speaking up for yourself.
Come to People First! People First of Northern Virginia is a local self-advocacy organization for adults with developmenal disabilities. Their mission is to support people with disabilities as they speak up for themselves about their rights and their participation in the community. They believe that people with disabilities are People, first, whocan have friends, work at jobs, join clubs, vote and live in homes just like all members of the community.
