In this podcast episode, we answer the question: Why self-advocacy is important? This is a pivotal question for self-advocacy for college students with disabilities. While self-advocacy is widely acknowledged and supported, self-advocacy skills are absent from K-12. In addition, self-advocacy's significance within higher education and beyond often remains overlooked.
I redefine self-advocacy as a lot more than "speaking up." Self-advocacy begins by fostering self-awareness, navigating strengths and weaknesses. From there a student should know about the disability, how it affects them, and what accommodations work for them or not. Self-advocacy extends to encompassing seeking help when necessary and prioritizing overall wellness for college and beyond.
Self-advocacy is a lot more than just speaking up. It has a great influence on college success and even influencing subsequent generations. Join me as I uncover the essential components of self-advocacy.
