2. What is the What Matters Most Campaign?
A cause campaign founded by the parents of
children with disabilities and their allies
An effort focused on Respecting Options and
Expanding Opportunities for everyone in the
broader disability community … through services
provided in the most integrated setting
appropriate based on informed choice

3. Who Does the Campaign Represent?
Individuals with ALL disabilities
From single to significant disabilities
Their parents and families
Their guardians and loved ones
Their allies and advocates

4. Why is the Campaign Important?
Because every person and every disability is unique
Because one size does NOT fit all
Because we ALL deserve the right to have choices:
For daily living
For education
For employment options
For the best personal fit in each of these areas

5. Why is the Campaign Important? (cont’d)
Because it gives individuals and parents a strong voice
Because it is important for government officials to
understand the broader disability community …
And hear from those directly impacted by
disability-related legislation!

6. What are the Key Issues?
Proposed federal legislation and federal regulations
seek to limit options
Proposed state policies favor a “one size fits all”
approach that does not reflect the diverse nature of
disability (and severely limits individual choices)
These issues would seriously impact people with
significant disabilities and their parents or guardians

7. “Our options and opportunities matter most!”
