This product was designed for Middle and High School students. Product can be used with students during in-person, as well as, during distance learning, online learning, or teletherapy sessions.

Middle and High School students are learning to become more independent in their ability to self-advocate. Being able to appropriately and effectively advocate for yourself is a crucial communication skill for adolescents to develop. 

Advocating for yourself allows you to get the help you need to be successful in the school setting, workplace setting, and to be more prepared for the real world. Communicating in a clear, organized fashion when advocating for yourself is equally important. The 51 Self-Advocating Task Cards & Role Play Scenarios found in this product provide a framework to effectively teach the skill of self-advocating in a clear, organized, and detailed manner. 

This product contains guiding questions to facilitate understanding of self-advocating steps for students. These guiding questions allow students to process through all the information they will need to advocate for themselves and will provide a framework for pre-planning their advocating conversation.

Each self-advocating scenario is meant to be role-played after the student has answered the guiding questions.

Lastly, follow-up questions were created for each self-advocating scenario to further broaden the student's understanding of each advocating situation. These follow-up questions were created to be asked after the student has role-played the self-advocating scenario. These follow-up questions are meant to broaden and expand on the student's perspective and knowledge around the self-advocating situation they may face in real-life.
