My name is Ruben Garcia. I am 58 years old. I was born with a disability. My disability is called cerebral palsy. I have been an advocate since I was 11 years old. I have been in the DD system since 1987. I have been a self-advocate in the DD system since 1988. I have been on boards and organizations for people with disabilities over the years. My goal is to make people with disabilities live a better life.
