University of Miami Mailman Center for Child Development Program Project SALT Replicated at the Nebraska UCEDD

July 17, 2024

The Self-Advocate Leadership Training program (SALT) aims to teach a leadership skills curriculum to individuals with disabilities so that they can learn strategies to advocate for themselves and others and to effect larger systems-level change. SALT produces an ever-growing cadre of individuals with the capacity for self-determination and independence and the ability to participate in their communities in meaningful ways.
