Abstract
This paper describes a simulation which is designed to provide students with experiential learning relative to influencing policy. Students are required to research selected populations and become familiar with related issues and needs. They are then required to be an advocate for that population as they provide testimony to a local funding board or a state legislative committee. Peer learning, experience in influencing policy, and inclusion of content on at-risk groups in society within an easily adpated framework are benefits of this simulation. Adaptation to both undergraduate and graduate levels is possible as well as adaptation to inclusion in several different content courses simultaneously, e.g., policy, practice, and research.
