Adult Advocacy & Resources

Advocacy

Adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities (I/DD) and their families who reside within Denver County are eligible for support from our Adult advocates. Some common issues adults with I/DD and their families encounter include:

  • Securing a guardian to assume full decision-making responsibility in the best interest of the adult
  • Locating appropriate and quality community housing or placement
  • Resolving employment issues related to discrimination, unwillingness under the ADA to provide appropriate accommodations within the workplace, and ensuring quality employment experiences.
  • Any much more.

AdvocacyDenver staff have assisted people such as Elsa, a woman who found dissatisfaction with her job and longed to find a better fit.

Community Resources

Advocates work with other agencies and resources to provide support and resources to adults with I/DD and their families. Below you will find links to providers, agencies, and resources by field. All agencies and resources shared either support or impact Denver County resident with I/DD:
