Ep 135 What is Self-Advocacy? Helping Students Speak Up

This is week 5 of the 12 week college transition series and this week is all about self-advocacy—what it means, why it matters, and how your student can get better at it before college starts.

Self-advocacy is one of the most important skills your student can bring to college. But many students with disabilities don’t know what it really means—or how to do it. In this episode, we define self-advocacy, explain why it’s critical for college success, and give you simple ways to help your student build this vital skill.
