Friday, September 28, 2007 Turning Frustration Into Action
In Bellingham, Washington a new leadership development program called Real People, Real Lives, Real Power aims to help families of people with disabilities find ways to turn their frustrations into political action. This year-long leadership program consists of seven meetings. During these meetings, parents and self advocates learn political advocacy skills which will be of great use as they navigate state and federal systems to
acquire information on available nursing services, special education programs or other needed services. In addition to learning about the disability movement, participants also learn how to testify before governing bodies and inspire others to join their cause.
