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.
SAIL provides a supportive place for members to learn about their rights, share their experiences, and build leadership skills. The group meets regularly to discuss their goals, review current policies, and plan ways to make improvements. They work closely with state and federal policymakers, giving feedback and proposing new ideas to help shape future laws. Through these efforts, SAIL members contribute their unique insights and help build a more inclusive and accessible community for everyone.
