Enhancing Self-Advocacy Support and College Preparation in CNMI

This proposal outlines key national recommendations to strengthen self-advocacy efforts and college readiness for individuals with disabilities in the CNMI. It calls for continued support for Self-Advocacy Summits and more national backing for self-advocacy initiatives. Notable suggestions include ADD officials visiting the islands to raise awareness, facilitating access to meetings, and providing additional resources for college preparation. Recommendations also highlight the need for funding, including seed grants, to empower individuals with disabilities to implement their advocacy plans effectively.
