Announcing Florida Self-Advocates
NetworkED (FL SAND)

A statewide self-advocacy Association, Florida Self-Advocates NetworkED (FL SAND), has been formed and a Board of Directors comprised of representatives who have been selected by the local groups participating in the Florida Grassroots Self-Advocacy Project were seated at the third annual Statewide Self-Advocacy Meeting held in Tampa November 6-7. Look for more details and the launching of their website in 2011.

This website has been created to support self-advocates in Florida to:

  • organize local, independent self-advocacy groups;
  • network with other self-advocates throughout the state
  • provide resources to give self-advocates a voice in the decisions and issues that affect their lives
