Self-Advocacy Board of Los Angeles County (SABLAC)

Gavel and text, deciding for ourselves. SABLAC, Self-Advocacy Board of Los Angeles County

The Self-Advocacy Board of Los Angeles County (SABLAC) is an organization run by and for people with developmental disabilities and allies. Its purpose is to strengthen the self-advocacy movement throughout Los Angeles by:

  1. Helping more self-advocacy groups get started

  2. Teaching people about their rights

  3. Developing leadership skills

We do this through our meetings, trainings, conferences and working with other organizations on issues of importance to us, The Self-Advocacy Board began in 1988 and became a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in 1999. Facilitation is provided by staff from the Los Angeles office of the State Council on Developmental Disabilities

SABLAC is always looking for new members who want to get involved. Members must:

  1. Have a developmental disability or be an ally

  2. Be interested in self-advocacy and improving services

  3. Be willing to participate in advocacy activities

SABLAC meetings are typically held the first Thursday of every month from 1:00 – 3:00 PM via Zoom. Please email SABLAC President, Suzanne Paggi (suzdpaggi@gmail.com), for more information or to be added to the mailing list.
