The intent of the Instruction in Self-Advocacy course is to assist the student in developing improved self-awareness, which will enable them to take charge of their life, education, and work opportunities. Students will be better able to advocate for their specific needs or accommodations that will help them to succeed in all facets of life. They will learn basic life and time management skills to improve their independence. General communication skills are also taught to help them understand how to relate to different types of people, including peers, teachers, coworkers, and bosses. It is important for students to understand their rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. It is equally important for students to learn how to maximize their participation in school Individualized Education Plans, or IEPs, and Section 504 plans. The Instruction in Self-Advocacy course will increase the knowledge the participants have about their rights. Finally, students will be provided with information on the West Virginia Division of Rehabilitation Services and other local resources to assist them with independent living and college accessibility. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
