The Advocacy Center's "Presenters for a New Attitude," has jumped to the next level with a trip to Maryland.  A group of five presenters from The Advocacy Center provided the two-day workshop to nine parents of children with disabilities and one individual with a disability.  Every participant produced a personal presentation that may be used to stimulate systems change in the region with a goal of promoting community and school inclusion.
