A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
My family has been positively impacted through connection and resource sharing. When I had questions about my daughter's speech development, I turned to The Arc of Nebraska for a list of resources. I wanted to know the immediate steps to take and the steps to plan for the future. Advocacy is more than just being able to talk about barriers & successes. Advocacy is learning how to ask for support and what questions to ask. The Arc of Nebraska helped me understand how to better communicate on behalf of my daughter's needs. I was connected to other families in similar situations and was offered a network of providers to call. It was a huge relief while I walked through the lifelong journey of navigating disability advocacy.
