Self-Advocacy for ND Clients - for Speech Pathologists F2F
About
In this 5-hour CPD workshop, you’ll explore self-advocacy through a neurodiversity affirming lens.Join us for an event focused on how we, as paediatric speech pathologists, can enhance self-advocacy skills among neurodivergent individuals from pre-school to secondary school.
This event helps to empower the families of neurodivergent individuals and the individuals themselves to confidently assert their needs, rights, and preferences.
Topics covered that will be covered:
* Understanding self-advocacy - we know we should be facilitating self-advocacy - but what is it really and how can we facilitate this as a paediatric speech pathologist.
* Components of self-advocacy - Learning about the essential components of self-advocacy including knowledge of self, knowledge of rights and communication - and what is our role is in facilitating self-advocacy.
* Hierarchy towards increasing levels of self-advocacy - identifying where families and individuals are in their advocacy journey and discussing how to move from others advocating for the individual towards self-advocacy.
* What skills do we need to effectively self-advocate and how we can promote these in our supports?
* You will also receive a questionnaire to identify and set goals with clients and families
