Episode 6
For far too long, the disability rights movement has been led by advocates and professionals without disabilities —but that is changing. Self-advocate leaders with intellectual and developmental disabilities are joining local advocacy organizations and ensuring that their voices are heard not only in their communities, but in the state capitol and in Washington, D.C. In this episode, learn how one Wisconsin self-advocate started building his skills early, his advice for you, and why he thinks speaking up is important.
The episode features Josh Gretebeck from People First Stoughton along with our host, Lisa Pugh of The Arc Wisconsin.
