“We have an opinion and it matters,” states Kelsey Cowley. Unfortunately, Kelsey didn’t feel many people listened to her during her school years. She says, “They just didn’t understand people with disabilities to the whole extent.” As President of Self-Advocates of Indiana, Kelsey is encouraging people with disabilities to get involved in their communities.
