What is Self-Adocacy?
Self-advocacy is a student's ability to communicate their wants and needs effectively. Students who can share their interests, desires, and opinions with others clearly are better able to be partners in the post- secondary transition planning process. Instruction in self-advocacy can occur individually or with a group in school, at home, or in the community.
