In the department we have an Office of Consumer Empowerment directed
by a consumer, George Neal. George has been a role model for people with
intellectual disabilities for many years. He is employed full time, has
his own home and his drivers license. Formerly, George served as
president of People First of Alabama, a self-advocacy group that is
connected nationally to other People First organizations.
The Office of Consumer Empowerment is responsible for providing leadership to
individuals with intellectual disabilities to promote being active and
participating in governmental and civic activities. They are a voice to the
community about the rights, the needs, and the desires of Alabama citizens with
intellectual disabilities. George says, “We are here to help people become more
self-reliant and reach their dreams.”
