MAC's greatest strength as a highly effective advocacy organization is its multi-strategic approach.  Not only do we use a wide range of strategies - including case advocacy, education and training, coalition-building and collaboration, administrative and legislative advocacy, and policy analysis and research - but we use them in combination. 

For example, our intake and advocacy for individual families provides the foundation of our legislative and administrative advocacy, as well as our decisions to choose a litigation response.  Coalition-building and community collaborations enable us to be more effective when we advocate with legislators and school officials.  And policy analysis and research are not done in isolation, but in the context of the development of strategies to provide remedies to the problems and issues that have been uncovered.
