Empowering Your Voice: 3 New Self-Advocacy Videos from the AIM Peer Leadership Team!

The AIM team is excited to announce that we have put together 3 new self-advocacy videos! Designed to help individuals navigate Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), these short videos give examples for how to effectively communicate your needs, direct your planning process, and exercise your rights.

All three new videos are officially live and ready to watch on the Advocacy In Motion YouTube Channel. Here is a quick preview of what you’ll find in this new video series.

1. Communicating with Your Service Coordinator

Effective advocacy starts with clear, timely communication. It serves as an essential reminder that HCBS guidelines exist to protect your rights from being hurt while ensuring you get the exact assistance you need.

2. Planning Your Individual Program Plan (IPP) Meeting

Your IPP meeting is all about your life and your goals. This video shows how to make sure your voice and choices lead the conversation and meeting every step of the way.

3. Making Choices About How You Save and Spend Money

Financial independence is a vital part of HCBS. This video reminds viewers that under HCBS guidelines, you have the fundamental right to save and spend your money however you want—giving you full control over your personal financial future.
