We Are On A Mission To Grow Self-Advocacy.
1 In 6 Adults In Arizona Have A Disability.
About 904,854 adults in Arizona have a disability. Despite historic progress in disability rights, people with disabilities continue to face barriers and challenges that prevent their full participation in society.
The Reality Of Living With A Disability In Arizona
These challenges underscore the importance of self-advocacy as a way for those affected to voice their concerns and demand change. By providing the guidance and the opportunities to speak up, self-advocacy allows people with disabilities to share their experiences and shape the attitudes that will lead to a more inclusive Arizona.
Arizona Achieve Is Bridging The Gap.
Arizona Achieve is a cross-disability statewide coalition that supports self-advocacy for individuals with disabilities. From peer-mentorship to leadership training, Arizona Achieve guides its members to find their voices, tell their stories, and advocate for change.
