What Do You Think About Advocacy Principles and Practices? Whether you are a self-advocate, a parent or family member, a paid or volunteer advocate, a leader or director in an advocacy group or organization; or you work with advocates in schools, agencies and services - if you are involved in advocacy with people with disabilities and their families, we would value your ideas and contribution to this effort.
Please join us for a Regional Forum on Statewide Principles and Practices in Advocacy on We are seeking feedback for The Statewide Task Force on Advocacy, an initiative of The New York State Disabilities Advocacy Association and Network (NYSDAAN). The Task Force on Advocacy goals are to improve our understanding of advocacy in our state, and make recommendations for principles of practice that can guide our work, build capacity and promote quality and best practices across our state.
What are a few of our questions?
? What are the outcomes of advocacy? What are measures of success?
? What difference does advocacy make? What skills are needed?
? What principles and values should influence an advocate?
? What has been your experience with advocacy? Are there best practices? Where are the gaps?
? What are potential benefits of recommending common advocacy principles across all systems and regions of our state?
