WHAT IS SELF-ADVOCACY?
Self-advocacy is representing oneself, one’s views or interests/causes.
WHY IS SELF-ADVOCACY IMPORTANT?
Sometimes, students cannot wait for someone to advocate for them – they need to advocate for themselves!
Self-advocacy teaches students to speak up for themselves. Students know their rights and responsibilities. Students are confident and know what they want and need now and in the future.
Self-advocacy means students understanding their strengths and challenges, developing personal goals, being assertive, making decisions and sharing them with others in a respectful and thoughtful way. Self-advocacy teaches students to stand up for themselves.
