The Coalition Of Self-Advocates & Parents is for Individuals with developmental disabilities and their family members. The Coalition is a DDAWNY initiative to network together the various Parent Support groups and Self Advocacy groups throughout Western New York. It consists of representatives of over 40 groups identified by DDAWNY and listed out in our Coalition Directory.
