Advocating Through Letter Writing
02/15/2007 | Requests *Summary
When accessing health care for children there is another level of advocacy and information needed. Learning to advocate, learning to research and learning how to communicate with multiple systems are all skills to be acquired. Many times families are asked to “Put your request in writing”; for the parents of children with disabilities, there are even more reasons. The New York F2F grantee developed this booklet with hints, suggestions or models for families to use when writing letters.
