THE ADVOCACY NETWORK ON DISABILITIES - ADVOCACY

Description:

CCDH provides both individual and systems advocacy. Family Support Coordinators provide individual advocacy and case management to people with developmental, physical and sensory disabilities, their families, and professionals seeking to assist them. The primary goal of individual advocacy is to help identify and access needed supports and services.

Systems advocacy refers to efforts to influence public policy, legislation, and service delivery systems to be more responsive to the needs of individuals with disabilities.

Legislative education is focused primarily at the local and state levels and public policy is addressed through active participation with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Department of Children and Families, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Agency for Persons with Disabilities, and other organizations.
