Advocacy
"Putting a “human face” on policy issues"

CSO, Inc. takes a “grassroots” approach to addressing issues such as accessibility, opportunity and equity for persons with disabilities. The Parent, Advocate and Support Group (PASG) convenes quarterly to discuss disability issues, legislation, long term care planning, access to existing services and resources, etc. Participants benefit from shared experiences and plan actions to expand local service capacity. CSO, Inc.’s bi-monthly newsletter keeps consumers involved; while its Resource Directory and Guide of Chicago Services is available in print and on its website: www.cso1.org to keep the public informed about disability services and resources.
