Website: Regional Oral History Office: Leaders with Developmental Disabilities in the Self-Advocacy Movement

This webpage explores the life stories of thirteen leaders in the self-advocacy movement and their perspectives on key issues and leadership challenges. Part of the broader disability rights movement, the self-advocacy movement is unique in that it has been led and informed by the individual and collective experiences of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. There are video excerpts available from these leaders on a variety of topics such as disability identification, sheltered workshops, experiences in school, independent living and more.
