What Does Disability Advocacy Mean For College Students With Disabilities?
Disability advocacy ensures that students know their strengths, advocate for themselves, decide what they want to do now and in the future, and take charge of their career goals.  We empower students to:

• Speak up for what they need.
• Find a mentor to support them on their job search journey.
