Self-advocacy Manuals
The Deafblind Advocacy Group Canada wrote an easy to follow manual to serve as a self-advocacy resource for Canadians with deafblindness based on extensive research and personal stories and steps needed to accomplish self-advocacy goals to get equal access to services to live fulfilling lives.
We hope that this manual will support individuals who are deafblind in learning to be an effective self-advocate to remove barriers such as access to information, systemic, economic, political, educational, transportation, attitudinal, medical, and social services.
We also request you to share the link to this self-advocacy manual with your contacts, friends, family members so they can benefit from this excellent resource.
