In November 2005 individuals of the Society came together to form a self-advocacy group in Taber. The self-advocates call themselves Dynami – meaning strength in Greek. The self-advocacy group supports and teaches individuals to take a leadership role in making decisions and choices that affect their lives as to become independent. Advocacy teaches individuals about their rights and their responsibilities.
