1 In 6 Adults In Arizona Have A Disability.

About 904,854 adults in Arizona have a disability. Despite historic progress in disability rights, people with disabilities continue to face barriers and challenges that prevent their full participation in society.

The Reality Of Living With A Disability In Arizona

These challenges underscore the importance of self-advocacy as a way for those affected to voice their concerns and demand change. By providing the guidance and the opportunities to speak up, self-advocacy allows people with disabilities to share their experiences and shape the attitudes that will lead to a more inclusive Arizona.
