You’re doing the work. We’ll make sure it’s seen, heard, and supported.

At J Gould Consulting, we specialize in helping organizations within the intellectual and developmental disability community gain the confidence, tools, and strategy to advocate effectively at the legislative level—locally in California and nationally. The system is complicated. Underfunded. Often inaccessible. That’s where we come in.
