Take a look at the ACT website (see link). ACT is a non-profit disability rights organization run by and for people with developmental disabilities and other disabilities. Here are the basics from ACT's site...
"WHAT WE DO:
Fight oppression. Here's the problem we're working to fix. People with developmental disabilities are isolated. People with developmental disabilities are excluded.
Change society. Here's what we think. We don’t have to change to fit society. Rather, society must change to accommodate us.
HOW WE DO IT:
Build leaders. We build the skills of individuals by providing information, skill building, and leadership opportunities.
Organize. We organize people with disabilities to work together to challenge the barriers they face every day."
