People First of Nevada
People First of Nevada is a Self-Advocacy Group run by people with developmental differences throughout Nevada.
As citizens of Nevada, we have the right to make our own decisions and to live self-determined lives. The self-advocacy movement in Nevada began when a group of people with developmental disabilities decided to meet together to discuss self-advocacy and self-determination. Self-advocates joined forces with the Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities (NCED) in 2003. The NCED wrote a grant to t

A Credo for Support.
Do not see my disability as the problem. Recognize that my disability is an attribute.
Do not see my disability as a deficit. It is you who see me as deviant and helpless.
Do not try to fix me because I am not broken. Support me. I can make my contribution to the community in my own way.
Do not see me as your client. I am your fellow citizen. See me as your neighbor. Remember, none of us can be self-sufficient.
Do not try to modify my behavior. Be still & listen. What you define as inappropriate may be my attempt to communicate with you in the only way I can.
Do not try to change me, you have no right. Help me learn what I want to know.
Do not hide your uncertainty behind “professional” distance. Be a person who listens and does not take my struggle away from me by trying to make it all better.
Do not use theories and strategies on me. Be with me. And when we struggle with each other, let that give use to self-reflection.
Do not try to control me. I have a right to my power as a person. What you call non-compliance or manipulation may be the only way I can exert some control over my life.
Do not teach me to be obedient, submissive, and polite. I need to feel entitled to say No if I am to protect myself.
Do not be charitable towards me. The last thing the world needs is another Jerry Lewis.
Do not try to be my friend. I deserve more than that. Get to know me, we may become friends.
Do not help me, even if it does make you feel good. Ask me if I need your help. Let me show you how you can assist me.
Do not admire me. A desire to live a full life does not warrant adoration. Respect me, for respect, presumes equality.
Do not tell, correct, and lead. Listen, support, and follow. Do not work on me. Work with me!
