What We Do and
How We Got Here
From Our Founder, Darcus Nims
Who Are We?
We are people with developmental disabilities who started our state group 15 years ago. We got together because of a grant from the Governor's Planning Council. We found out that we had the same hopes and dreams as other people. We hadn't known there were other people like us who wanted more for themselves. We found out the people didn't even think we could do it. But we've proved them wrong!
Self-Advocates of Indiana isn't like it was 10 years ago.
It is 15 years later, and our organization is still going strong. We now have our incorporation and not for profit status. We still have a lot to do because of changes we want to get done. Our board is working hard to develop and lead our organization so that we can be an effective resource to people with developmental disabilities and their families throughout Indiana.
