INDIVIDUAL ADVOCACY

As people with developmental disabilities live more independently, they sometimes need help overcoming the challenges they face living and working in the community. Whether they're helping an individual fill out a tax form or a family find affordable housing, Individual Advocates at The Arc of Spokane offer crucial, one-on-one assistance to a minor matter doesn't become a crisis. An Individiual Advocate can:

  • Give direction about available services in the community
  • Act as a witness to dealings with officials and practitioners
  • Help stabilize a stressful situation through listening and counseling 
  • Explain an individual's needs or views to others  
  • Explain complex information in terms the individual can understand
  • Write letters or fill-out legal forms

     


To talk to an Individual Advocate, contact Kendra Wolf at (509) 328-6326 or kwolf@arc-spokane.org.
