Advocacy Waiver, Release and Hold Harmless Agreement
Before a volunteer joins you at a school meeting or hearing, we ask every family to read and sign this waiver. It takes about two minutes and you get a PDF copy right away.
Voices For All Abilities provides free advocacy and support independently and as a community service.
