Self Advocacy Discussion
Wednesday, August 7, 2013
2:00pm to 3:30pm
Georgia Advocacy Office
150 East Ponce de Leon Ave., Suite 430
Decatur, GA 30030
Do you have a self-advocacy project that you would like to undertake but are not sure of how to go about doing it? The Georgia Advocacy Office (GAO) wants to support you in your efforts.
GAO staff attorney Julie Kegley and nationally-known self advocate Cheri Mitchell will provide technical support and expertise during this one-time discussion.
Come with your ideas about issues you would like to discuss. Some examples of things you might want technical support with include the following:
•The light at the crosswalk near your house doesn’t stay green long enough, and you want to change it so that people with disabilities, including you, can have enough time to cross.
•There is no curb cut at a street you need to cross.
•Your favorite restaurant is inaccessible.
•There are no accessible parking spots at your apartment complex.
•The bus stop near your home is not accessible.
You feel that you have been discriminated against by a state or local government and/or a private business. If you would like to attend, please complete the enclosed application and return it to Marie Selby at the GAO by July 31, 2013 (see contact information on next page). Attendance will be limited to 30 people.
Please note that attendance at this discussion does not mean the GAO will provide legal representation to you on your self-advocacy work; nor does the GAO make any representation that attendance at this discussion will result in a favorable outcome for you in your self-advocacy
