Self-Advocacy Board of Los Angeles County (SABLAC)

The Self-Advocacy Board of Los Angeles County (SABLAC) is an organization run by and for people with developmental disabilities and allies. Its purpose is to strengthen the self-advocacy movement throughout Los Angeles by:

1. Helping more self-advocacy groups get started
2. Teaching people about their rights
3. Developing leadership skills
4. Providing input on important legislation and policies

We do this through our meetings, trainings, conferences and working with other organizations on issues of importance to us, The Self-Advocacy Board began in 1988 and became a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in 1999. Facilitation is provided by staff from the Los Angeles office of the State Council on Developmental Disabilities
