Today we are going to talk about self advocacy.
Even Hudson here has to learn what he needs.
and he's really good at it. So check this out!
welcome to the Road Trip
on this Road Trip
do you know where you're starting from
and where you want to go?
the experience you have is going to depend on your ability to make a plan
Is anybody going with you?
who's driving?
do you know the way?
how long will it take ? what will you pack?
Is the the car ready for the road?
to make your road trip a really good experience you have to make decisions
The good news... there's no right decision or wrong decision
But you do need to deal with the problems that come up along the way
Like on a road trip, you have to stop and get rest, get a bite to eat
sometimes nature calls
then in the rest of life they're really big decisions to be made
like when you're headed to college...it's another type of road trip.
what will make your journey successful
is learning to self advocate
what does that mean? well it means getting to know yourself
being able to say to yourself
and to others "this is who I am:
this is how I learn
and this is what I need
self-advocacy means that you solve your own problems
how do you do that?
well basically it's life skills setting goals, planning, getting organized and identifying your needs
problem solving and decision making
so the big question is
why do you need to be your own advocate?
Well, you know yourself best
and probably know
best why
but the answer is because
studies are showing
that students of all kinds but especially students with learning
difficulties
having much more success
with they self advocate
so research is on our side
with self-advocacy, you really can
reach your goals
and self advocacy really can make a difference
between struggle and success
so on this road trip
self-advocacy is putting you
in the driver's seat
just like in life,they're solutions to be made, problems to solve
decisions to make
self-advocacy is putting you
on the road
to solutions
hope you have a good trip
