Personal Reflection

Self-advocacy does not have to mean being confident, confrontational, highly verbal, or able to respond immediately.

What does effective self-advocacy look like for you personally?

Consider:

• how you communicate best;
• what happens to your communication when you are stressed;
• whether you prefer to respond immediately or later;
• when you might ask another person for support;
• what boundaries are important to you; and
• what would make you consider an advocacy interaction successful.
