Lesson Plan

Self-Advocacy Lesson Plan

In a one-on-one 30-minute session, the student will identify when they need support and practice using self-advocacy strategies (I-statements, requesting accommodations, asking for help, planning) to communicate needs in 70% of observed opportunities.

Teaching self-advocacy builds the student’s confidence and independence by equipping them with strategies to clearly express needs and seek support in academic or social challenges, fostering self-efficacy and success.
