Advocacy and Community Involvement
Join the advocacy group Speak Up sponsored by the Butler County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Everyone can be a self-advocate. Meetings occur on the fourth Tuesday of the month from 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. at the Janet Clemmons Center in Hamilton, Ohio. Speak Up meetings are focused on ways to advocate for yourself and your community.
Speak Up – Self Advocates
Best Buddies fosters one on one friendships between adults with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities and college students without IDD. Historically, adults with IDD have been isolated at home or work environments. Best Buddies is changing this by providing the opportunity for people with IDD to be involved in campus and community life.
Best Buddies
We make it a priority to ensure the people we support have as many opportunities as possible to work in the community just like everyone else. We partner with a variety of businesses, vocational service providers, and educational institutions to provide initial and ongoing support, from finding a job to keeping it.
