Using Trauma-Sensitive Strategies to Support Family Engagement and Effective Collaboration, presented by Dr. Elizabeth Meeker and hosted by the National Center for Dispute Resolution in Special Education (CADRE)
Self-advocacy is the crucial skill of understanding one’s rights, strengths, and needs, and effectively communicating them. It builds confidence and promotes independence, allowing youth to speak up to teachers, employers, and other adults to get what they want and need. These skills don’t always come naturally, but they can be taught and nurtured, and become easier with practice. Summer break can be the perfect time to work on these skills. This webinar covered the obstacles that youth often face and how caregivers can help youth build strong self-advocacy skills that will help them go far in school, career, and life.
