Many of my students have learned to express themselves over the years, but are vague in their expression and forget to include enough detail.

I am seeing significant improvement in my own students now that they are using this self-advocacy formula.

I hope it does the same for your students!

Teach your older students to effectively self-advocate in any setting or situation with this Self-Advocacy Life Skills Worksheet Activities and Social Problem Solving Scenarios Lesson.

I am a high school speech language therapist in a special education school. I work with many students who find social emotional learning and executive functioning skills challenging. One way we tackle this is by practicing self-advocacy skills. My goal is to foster independence speaking up and advocating for themselves to get the help they need in all settings.

I wanted a way to help them not only learn to self-advocate, but to do it effectively. 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 lesson breaks speaking up into a simple and easy-to-follow self-advocacy formula. Students will quickly learn the 3 steps of the formula and be able to:

- Understand self-advocacy and locate self-advocacy details within various statements and questions.

- Discriminate between self-advocacy statements/questions that are effective
and detailed/specific and those that are too vague and do not tell others what you need and how they can help you.

- Apply this self-advocacy formula to various problem solving scenarios at home, school, work, and in the community. Students will learn to problem solve what to say in various functional situations and settings.

This lesson/activity includes:

- A Color and a B&W version

- Mini-lesson/Self-Advocacy Formula

- Many examples to model effective use of the self-advocacy formula

- Worksheets to understand and recognize effective self-advocacy

- Scenarios to practice using the self-advocacy formula - written tasks and role play scenario cards included

- Self-Advocacy Formula Template

- Printable and has been designed to easily be used digitally on any interactive whiteboard with any digital annotation tool or app.

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! I hope it does the same for your students!
