Self-Advocates in Leadership (SAIL) is a group in Washington State that brings together people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to speak up about important issues. SAIL focuses on making sure people with IDD have their voices heard when decisions are made that affect their lives. The group talks about challenges like finding good housing, getting fair healthcare, having reliable transportation, and accessing quality services. By working together, members of SAIL help create positive changes in laws and policies that lead to better lives and more opportunities. The work of SAIL is mostly around legislative issues, but the information and skills learned are also used in local communities.
