Self-advocating is important to me because I am able to get accommodations for work, tasks, and projects that I may have problems with due to my disability. One accommodation that I would start with is that I need my employer/trainer to show me or let me do the task hands on because I learn better when I’m shown how to do the job. I might not need this for every task but if I don’t understand the task, that would be a great help. I would have to self-advocate when I’m getting a job. I would also have to self-advocate when at school; if the school doesn’t already distribute accommodations. Self-advocating is very important and a lot of people don’t think of it, some people may not know that they can actually do it either, and some people are too anxious to ask for accommodations, like me.
