Partners in Policymaking (PIP) is a leadership and advocacy training program sponsored by the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council, Inc. PIP teaches self-advocates and family members how to be community leaders and obtain the best available services and supports for themselves and others.

PIP participants generally attend a series of two-day training sessions that are spread out over a year. Sessions cover a variety of topics on disability policy and practice, disability history, early intervention, public education services, adult services and family supports. PIP participants also learn how to advocate with local and state policymakers.
