OVERVIEW & PURPOSE
Test, Fowler, Wood, Brewer & Eddy (2005) indicate that for students to become successful self-advocates, students need a knowledge of self, a knowledge of rights, and the communication skills to advocate. This second lesson will have students further understand what accommodations they can or should access based on what they have learned about their personal strengths and weaknesses. Many researchers and educators have identified this type of lesson as critical to the development of self-advocacy skills (Prater, Smith Redman, Anderson & Gibb, 2014; Hart & Behm, 2013; Summers, White, Zhang & Gordon, 2014).
