Leaders of agencies providing advocacy often struggle to help
families to understand and access critical services and supports. This session will discuss two case studies to illustrate common barriers in a complex infrastructure of agencies responsible for health, education, and community support. Understanding these barriers can help advocates better support families
on their journey, and suggest the best ways that advocates can partner with
professionals and agencies to promote system change through training, research,
and policy. The discussion includes panelists from agencies and advocacy groups
that will offer insights from their own experiences in helping families access
services and how do we address meaningful outcomes for all.
