Quick Tip: When you advocate, start with one concrete example that shows why the issue matters, then explain how this one example is part of a bigger pattern, not an isolated case, and then say your ask. People can remember stories longer than
statistics.

Thank you to the New Jersey Self Advocacy Project for sharing this important self-advocacy tip of the week. 🙏😃

While some of our chapters provide services for waiver recipients, others simply provide advocacy and information and some provide a combination of both. As Alabama works to become fully compliant to the HCBS settings rule and meet federally mandated standards, it’s important for families to know what to expect. Here’s a quick way to stay in the know and get FAQ’s answered from ADMH. If you have questions about what kind of services your local Arc chapter offers, please call The Arc of Alabama and we can direct you to your local chapter or visit our website at http://thearcofal.org/
