Self-Advocacy

Self-advocacy means you communicate your own interests, needs, and rights. It means making informed choices and taking responsibility for those choices.

Cuyahoga DD supports opportunities for people with developmental disabilities to be self-advocates. People with developmental disabilities are the main decision-makers in their lives.
