A 30-minute session for small groups of 4th–6th graders to break the ice, learn about their roles, and set class expectations with supportive activities tailored for students with emotional and language needs.

In this 30-minute individual lesson, a 5th grader learns what self-advocacy is, why it matters, and how to speak up for their needs in school and beyond. This tailored session builds confidence and equips the student with practical steps to request help, make positive choices, and take ownership of their learning.
