Self-Advocacy Skills + Life Skills Problem Solving Scenarios for Older Students - students will learn the necessary foundational skills of speaking up and become confident and effective self-advocates in any setting with any communication partner.

I work on improving self-advocacy skills daily with my high school students. My goal is to improve their executive functioning skills to foster independence problem solving and advocating for themselves to get the help they need.

I wanted a way to help them not only learn to self-advocate in life, but to speak up effectively . This Self-Advocacy Holidays & Seasons resource will help your students effectively and respectfully navigate sensitive situations using self-advocacy and problem solving skills with those closest them during seasonal and holiday activities and events.

Many of my students have learned to express themselves over the years, but are vague in their expression and forget to include enough detail. They haven't quite mastered what to say in different situations to ask for help and inform others exactly what they need. This leaves others confused and the students' needs unmet.

This Self-Advocacy Formula + Template breaks speaking up into 3 simple and easy-to-follow steps. Students will learn to self-advocate in any problem solving situation with any communication partner with confidence.

I am seeing significant improvement in my own students now that they are using this self-advocacy formula. Breaking it down into its parts and then practicing expressing themselves with detail is getting much easier for them and giving them more confidence to self-advocate in any situation they are faced with. I hope it does the same for your students!

Thank you for your interest! Enjoy!
