Legislators rely on their
constituents (that's you!) to
help them understand the
impact of proposed and
signed legislation. Because of
this, parents of individuals
with disabilities and the
individuals themselves are
their own most effective
advocates. Join Patricia
Nobbie, Deputy Director ,
Georgia Council on
Developmental Disabilities
(GCDD) and Leslie Hale,
Master's in Public
Administration candidate at
UGA and intern at GCDD,
as they provide an overview
of Georgia 's
policy process and explain
how parents and individuals
can effectively
communicate with their
state legislators.
