Advocacy and Support
Self-Advocacy Assistance
Our advocates provide information to assist individuals in advocating for themselves regarding their potential legal issue. Additionally, Disability Rights Colorado has many self-advocacy resources available to assist callers, including books, workbooks, and fact sheets on specific disability related issues.
Example: An advocate may provide tips to a parent on advocating for their child at an Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting. A tenant with a disability can learn her legal rights and advocate for herself in a dispute with her landlord by reading our fact sheet on housing and speaking with one of our advocates.
