Kansas Legislature Individual Advocacy addresses everything from assisting a person who feels they have been discriminated against and resolving their complaint to training on self-empowerment and responsibility. This may include discrimination in services, employment, housing, health-care, transportation, recreation, or any aspect of a person's life. This may also include understanding your rights. Once again, the focus is on teaching the individuals so that they can advocate for themselves in the future.
Systems Advocacy is attempting to ensure that law, regulations, programs services are protecting the civil and human rights of all individuals. This is a very powerful tool because it changes systems, which affect everyone who has a disability today, or will have one in the future.
