Adult Advocacy

The needs of adults with disabilities vary greatly depending on whether the individual is receiving government services; whether they have support from family caregivers; and most importantly – depending on the goals and abilities of each person.

The Arc’s adult advocates provide guidance and support individuals 30 and older.  Our first priority is to empower individuals to be able to advocate for themselves, regardless of the challenge presented.  We support people to be able to access what they need and want in their lives and ensure that their voices are heard.

Armed with information you can trust, our experienced adult advocates will support the both the adult and any engaged family members as they develop the skills and knowledge for success.
