A toolkit for states and territories on how to pass Disability History Legislation is now available. Designed for ease of use, this resource will enable state legislatures to help their citizens learn from the successes of past and present disability activists who have worked to make our country more inclusive. The toolkit reflects successful strategies, templates, and best practices for advocating for disability awareness from other model states. It includes useful information on state and territory legislative systems, the basic legislative process, basic etiquette tips on working with legislators, an example of a written appeal for a disability history initiative, strategies for advocating for disability awareness from six states, and a glossary of useful terms. This toolkit was undertaken as a goal of ODEP's Alliance with the National Association of Governors' Committees on People with Disabilities (NAGC).
