We Have a New Website

Welcome to APF’s new and improved website! Thanks to our friend Will at Archetype Productions our mission of creating an accessible website has been achieved.

On this site you will find updated information from your State President, Eric Treat as well as announcements about upcoming events such as board meetings, Developmental Disability Provider Board training, SABE national conference, DDC conference, celebration retreat, fundraisers and much more for self-advocates in Arkansas.

Keep on advocating!

Be a Role Model

Consumers look up to you so you need to lead by example. Never exhibit behavior that is unprofessional, such as constant texting, using profanity or taking advantage of your position to influence others. Always be on time for appointments and keep meetings concise and to the point. Keep the best interests of the customer in mind and always remember, especially when working with youth, that you are being seen as the “expert.” It may not seem like it at times, but you are an authority in what you do.
