Advocacy Day was an inspiring day at the Capitol. 💙

More than 800 Kansans—self-advocates, families, and supporters—gathered to speak up for policies that help people with developmental disabilities live independent, inclusive lives in their own communities.

We were grateful for the chance to connect directly with our legislators and share why these services matter so much.
