SPEAK Up! Docuseries
The SPEAK Up! Docuseries is an advocacy-driven project created by and for self-advocates with IDD. This series documented the lived experiences of 30 self-advocates and their families across Kansas.
From education and employment to healthcare, transportation, and community life, this project amplified the voices of people with IDD and demonstrated the power of advocacy in shaping a more inclusive Kansas.
