In order to succeed in school and at work, youth and young adults with disabilities need to know how and when is appropriate to self-disclose and request accommodations. Supporting youth with disabilities around self-disclosure and self-advocacy can have positive lifelong impact for the youth in your program.
This train-the-trainer model will teach professionals and volunteers working with youth with disabilities how to facilitate self-advocacy workshops. This interactive workshop will include a panel discussion, group activities, and the opportunity to practice disclosure scenarios.
Attendees will gain an increased ability to articulate the meaning of self-advocacy, better understand of the Americans with Disabilities Act (including reasonable accommodations and undue hardships), learn strategies to support youth in disclosure, and gain knowledge of resources for supporting self-advocacy.
