Note: Disability Voices United’s Self-Advocates Speakers Bureau trains and empowers people with disabilities to share their stories. The media, organizations, corporations, schools, community groups, and others can leverage the Bureau to find and book individuals with disabilities who have compelling narratives and messages. Disability Voices United facilitates connections with potential speakers but does not oversee their presentations, negotiate rates, or manage their contracts with organizations wanting their services.
