Advocate is The Arc of Massachusetts’ quarterly magazine. This is one of the ways in which we inform and educate people about current topics in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and autism.
Advocate Magazine
Recent issues have included:
- Up-to-date information on state and federal governmental affairs affecting people with developmental disabilities, including analysis of budgets and legislation
- Announcements of upcoming trainings, seminars, and other programs and events
- Special features, such as a section on vacation and travel opportunities for people with developmental disabilities
- Poems, letters, and articles written by self-advocates, family members, and professionals
- News from Local Chapters of The Arc and other organizations; and much more!
Advocate continues to be a lively, authoritative forum with strong human-interest stories related to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities and their families.
We cover all phases of life–from newborns to seniors–and all aspects of the field, including education, recreation, housing, and legislation at the federal, state and local level. We include plenty of how-to information to help people advocate for themselves and their loved ones and to navigate the often complex network of services and funding.
