In describing the deinstitutionalization movement, Bill Gilkey says, “I think the process went pretty well and one reason for that was because they did have community mental health centers in place in many areas of Indiana.

"After the regulations passed, there was a big infusion of federal dollars to train people, mainly people with disabilities and other advocates on their rights, their new rights under the ADA," explains Christine Dahlberg. The Disability Rights Education Foundation (DREF) held intensive training around the country. The Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities supported the training by marking sure people with disabilities had the opportunity to attend training sessions. The Council had a contract with Nancy Griffin to do statewide training on the ADA. Nancy says, “I wrote a grant application to the Governor's Council and seven months later the ADA Training Network was established in Indiana.” There were offices in the northern, central and southern parts of Indiana. Nancy recalls, “We were heavily involved in implementation but, well, were, basically, being sure that folks with disabilities knew what their new rights were, but also that businesses and town halls and whoever, schools, understood what their obligations were under the law.” Christine and Nancy were interviewed at the 2009 Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities Conference.
“We actually heard from a number of different people in a lot of different communities,” explains Ric Edwards of the town meetings held when Justin Dart visited Indiana. Christine Dahlberg discusses the Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities role in arranging meetings and inviting disability organizations to the meetings. “Our job was to find a venue and get it all set up and make sure all the advocates were invited and that there was sufficient room for them, and then even to try and get media coverage of the rallies.” Ric explains the stories they heard at the rallies laid the groundwork for the ADA. “We were able to not only hear from people as to what the real problems were, but we were able to put that into an act and actually try and address some of those questions, some of those problems, and remove some of those barriers.”
Once the rallies were over, the work started on making sure the legislation passed. Christine says, “We didn’t have the internet back then.” Instead, telephones calls, mailings and faxes helped get information out to people. Ric recalls making a lot of phone calls, “I can remember the ear getting so red and swollen that you had to switch ears.” Christine and Ric were interviewed at the 2009 Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities Conference.

"What she has taught me, there's no way to ever repay it." Dan Stewart met self-advocacy leader Betty Williams in 1997, when he was applying for the position of executive director of the agency now known as Achieva Resources, a disability service agency in Richmond, Indiana. Betty grew up in Richmond, had been employed with Achieva's sheltered workshop, and was on the search committee. Dan was hired.
He says that during the period Indiana was closing its institutions for people with intellectual disabilities and transitioning them into the community, "I was able to work with Betty side by side." (Muscatatuck and Fort Wayne Developmental Centers closed in 2005 and 2007.) "She had a profound effect on seeing those [transitional] programs grow and develop." "The training that she did in this state over the last ten years is just, it's truly amazing." Betty became nationally known for her self-advocacy work and died in December 2018. Dan was retired director of Achieva Resources when he was interviewed in 2018, two months before her death.
In 1991, Darcus Nims traveled to Washington D.C. to receive the national Victorian Award for Achievement from President George H. Bush, for overcoming overwhelming challenges in her life. She had lunch at the White House and it was "the first time I ever got to stay in a hotel, the first time I ever got to go to a fancy restaurant." Some years later she had another first, flying to D.C. for a conference with self-advocate Betty Williams. “This time, we didn't have no helpers. We didn't think we could do it ourselves and we thought -- we were shocked we did it.” Darcus founded Self-Advocates of Indiana, the statewide group of advocates with intellectual/developmental disabilities, in 1990. She was interviewed in 2006.
In 2006, we asked Darcus Nims to discuss her biggest accomplishment. She said, “Most proudest thing would be getting self-advocates started, that showing people that what all the special stuff that disability people can do, you know.” Darcus founded Self-Advocates of Indiana, the statewide group of advocates with intellectual/developmental disabilities, in 1990. While Darcus continued her self-advocacy work, she took on the responsibility to care for her family. People told her she could'nt do her advocacy work and care for her family, but she proved everyone wrong. She was interviewed two years before her death at the age of 50.
Darcus Nims and Betty Williams, two of the founding leaders of Self-Advocates of Indiana, describe how their self-advocacy skills helped the inexperienced travelers maneuver around Washington, D.C.. Darcus was interviewed in 2006 and Betty was interviewed in 20016.
