Means to Self-Advocacy

for Persons with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Self-advocacy equips those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to ask for the help they need to succeed. The strategy is beneficial at school and encourages them to open up to friends and family about their difficulties and disabilities.

Initially, self-advocacy was instructed for adults with such disabilities. However, guardians and educators eventually realised that teaching this methodology earlier gives children a better chance of honing these essential skills.

FOUR MEANS TO SELF-ADVOCACY

  1. Acknowledge your qualities
  2. Be mindful of your weaknesses
  3. Design strategies to dispel those weaknesses
  4. Communicate these needs effectively to others

WAYS PARENTS CAN STIMULATE SELF-ADVOCACY

Most often, when your kid faces adversity in schooling, the impulsive reaction is to intercede on their account. Though in the long term, the best solution is teaching your child how to speak up for themselves.

For Younger Students: Initiate a Dialogue with Your Child’s Teacher

When your child is still young, you should inform their teacher of any learning difficulties. More facts provided upfront could help develop an improved relationship between parents, educators and children.

For Older Students: Encourage Them by Participating in Person-Centered Planning (PCP) Processes

Participate in Making an Independent Education Plan (IEP)

An Independent Education Plan (IEP) and person-centred planning (PCP) are crucial documents that list a child’s education requirements, accommodations from the school and progress measurements.

From as early as fifth or sixth grade, students can attend Self Advocacy Meetings and programmes independently to encourage themselves about what they require for success in class activities.

Speciality lets the students with disabilities express what they need to succeed in the inclusive classroom.
