Vision for Equality’s Advocacy Department believes that all people have the fundamental moral, civil, and constitutional right to live, learn, work, play, and worship in safe and healthy communities of their choosing.
We believe advocacy is vital to improving and sustaining the quality of life for all persons with autism and intellectual disabilities. The Department’s principal goal is to provide effective advocacy for people with disabilities and their families. Vision’s advocates work tirelessly to forward an agenda that targets quality outcomes in people’s lives and advances empowerment through self- determination and choice. Vision for Equality’s Advocacy Department maintains an independent critical viewpoint focused on the rights and well-being of the individual, unabridged by outside influences. We act as collaborators, problem solvers, facilitators, negotiators, and mediators always keeping in mind the best interests of the individual for whom we are advocating.
