“ Serving as a disability educator is about facilitating the process of identity development and self-advocacy that is so crucial to learning. (McCarthy, 2017, p. 11)
The foundation of self-advocacy is… SELF-AWARENESS SELF-REALIZATION The graphic is from the same paper. (Downing et al. 2007)
HOW IT GETS IMPLEMENTED ➤ It can be a speci c goal on the IEP ➤ Through direct instruction. ➤ Walking students through the process fi Martin et al (1993) explain how self-advocacy ts within the IEP and transition plans throughout the entire academic career fi ➤

In my lecture video, Week 10 - Teaching Students to Self-Advocate, I talk about three different papers about this topic. First, McCarthy (2017) provides an example of self-advocacy and youth with disabilities through the example of an encounter with a student. Second, Downing et al. (2007) is a study that was helping to identify how to track self-advocacy. Finally, Martin et al. (1993) is an older paper, but it describes what developing a transition plan is and how self-advocacy can fit throughout the K-12 experience for students. I’ve uploaded all of the articles and linked the above if you would like to read them.
