Adult Advocacy and Resources

Adult Advocates

Individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) who reside in the Denver metro area are eligible for support from an Adult Advocate. Advocates support and encourage self-advocacy to ensure an individual’s wishes are understood and heard by their support system. 

Adult Advocacy

Why Adults (and their family) Engage With Our Advocates:

  • They need an advocate to help them understand and navigate community center boards, Medicaid waivers, disability benefits, housing, and other service agencies.
  • They need help in getting services from the community center board, vocational rehabilitation and other service agencies
  • They need an advocate to help them resolve employment issues related to discrimination, unwillingness under the ADA to provide appropriate accommodations within the workplace, and ensure quality employment experiences.
  • They need help holding service systems accountable to meet both the spirit and letter of disability law
  • They need Adult Advocate to serve as authorized representative. (Pursuant to 2505-10 Colorado Revised Statutes.)
  •  They need an advocate to guide and ensure that their disability is recognized in criminal justice issues.

These are a few common scenarios, but you may have unique challenges all your own.
