Two-thousand eleven was quite a busy year here at AdvocacyDenver.  Individual advocacy was in great demand and each advocate pulled through (and continues to do so!) to provide quality advocacy support to individuals with disabilities and their families.  To analyze the amount and types of support provided, AdvocacyDenver tracks its core programming through the use of a Clients Database.  This gives us insight to the trends and barriers confronting individuals with disabilities residing in Denver and enables us to plan strategically.  Here’s a snapshot of what 2011 looked like:
