As Mag said,
Independent Living Centers also do a lot of advocacy work.  Before I went to
work for our UCEDD, I worked for our IL Center.  This site is a directory,
by state, of IL Centers:

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
