ADVOCACY
Support for individuals with disabilities by influencing decisions within political, economic, and social realms.

MADISON COUNTY MOTIVATORS
The Madison County Motivators is one of the largest self-advocacy groups in New York State, motivated to educate people with developmental disabilities.
Each month, the Motivators meet to discuss their rights and the future of advocacy. Throughout the year, the group also attend a variety of mini-workshops, including self-directed supports, bullying and abuse prevention, service coordination, budget cuts, and advocacy.
The Madison County Motivators venture to both of the Regional SANYS Conference held each year in May at the Driver’s Village Carnegie Hall in Syracuse, NY, and the September SANYS State Conference in Albany, NY.
