Meet VOR: An organization that refuses to redefine individual choice
By Tamie Hopp, VOR Director of Government Relations & Advocacy
I am delighted to have this opportunity to introduce you to VOR, an organization that is really like none other.
VOR is a national, nonprofit organization advocating for high quality care and human rights for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
We are the only national organization that has not redefined terms that other disability advocates have hijacked, like “choice,” “community,” and “self-advocacy.”
Do self-advocates really speak for you?
For 30 years, VOR has remained true to the families we represent by putting their seasoned insights and perspectives first. To us and them, “choice” really means choice. Our advocacy is driven and guided by an undeniable truth: Families know best.
