About the Course
This course is designed to help you equip students and youth with disabilities with the tools and knowledge they need to effectively represent their interests and navigate the employment landscape.
Self-advocacy encompasses understanding and asserting one's rights, communicating one's needs, and confidently speaking up for oneself. Empowering students with disabilities to develop self-advocacy skills is vital for their active engagement in the employment process through all services. With strong self-advocacy abilities, these students and youth can achieve their highest potential for independence and successful employment outcomes.
In this course, you will explore key concepts related to self-advocacy and self-determination and their infusion into the services you provide to students and youth with disabilities. Mastering these skills is essential for youth and students with disabilities to achieve independence and secure successful employment outcomes. To support skills development and meaningful application strategies, you will also gain access to resources and tools that support instruction in this area.
Please be aware that this training is delivered through the Canvas online learning system. Please consider your level of technical skills prior to registering.
