About this video

A history and overview of the self-advocacy movement, in which people with learning and developmental disabilities speak and organise for themselves. Wade presents the film, which was produced in 1996 by Advocating Change Together (ACT), a self-advocacy organisation in St Paul, Minnesota.

Wade’s papers include a script for a video on self-advocacy, “Self-Advocacy: The Big Picture”, which she wrote from a text by Jerry Austin. It may be connected with this film.
