Welcome to Self-Advocacy in High School- a site designed to support educators with self-advocacy instruction and students with self-advocacy development. We believe that the ability to self-advocate is key to experiencing success in school and life. Norman Kunc, a prominent speaker on disability rights and inclusion, has spent countless hours receiving supports for his disability and learning many compensatory strategies. Upon reflecting on the most important skill he ever learned, he stated:
Are you an educator looking for resources on how to support the development of self-advocacy skills in high school aged students who have learning disabilities? Here, you can find special education interventions, lesson plans, classroom activities, and learning modules for independent study. Ensure you learn more about our ‘Accommodations Student Card’ and ‘Digital Transition Portfolios. Many of the resources are designed to meet the needs of educators in British Columbia, Canada. However, they can be adapted to meet the needs of learners in other areas of the world.
Are you a student looking to take greater control over your education and life? This site is designed to help students find their voice and speak up for what they need.
