Advocacy

Breaking Down Barriers QMA is committed to advocating for the welfare of the people we support and for all individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We take action to protect and advance their interests through active engagement in our communities, and by influencing policies and decisions made at the local, state, and federal level. From training on person first language to petitioning and lobbying state actors, QMA champions the concepts of inclusion, self-sufficiency and independence for all people.
