Imagine Art — Capacity Building Mini-Grant

Imagine Art collaborated with Disability Rights Texas (DRTx) on a project called Channels 4 Self-Advocacy that increased awareness of present-day disability advocacy topics for Texans with developmental disabilities (DD). The project produced educational videos on important topics for people with DD to enhance their self-advocacy and quality of life. The project also provided participants with opportunities to practice advocacy skills.

Imagine Art and DRTx produced the following videos:

• DRTx Intake Process
• Medicaid Waiver Programs
• Medicaid Denials and Appeals: Denial Notices
• Medicaid Denials and Appeals: The Appeals Process
• Medicaid Denials and Appeals: Appeal Hearings
• Office of the Ombudsman
• Person-Centered Planning
    

Through Capacity Building Mini-Grants for Self-Advocacy Groups, TCDD supports local self-advocacy groups in building their organizational capacity to become more established in their communities, create partnerships, and conduct formal activities. As a result of project activities, organizations expand their role and impact.
