Cindy and Ashley speak at schools and community organizations throughout Wisconsin sharing their stories and talking about issues that are important to them.

In this video, these two self-advocates share a few tips that have helped them be successful and lead a self-determined life.

A self-advocate is when “YOU speak up for yourself and what YOU need.” When you lead a self-determined life and practice self-determination, “YOU decide your life.”

The Self-Determination Channel is a project of Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities: https://wi-bpdd.org/
