| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q1. What is self-advocacy and how can we help kids develop this skill? #LDchat https://t.co/KPSt2ZEyHi |
| Elizabeth C. Hamblet @echamblet #LDchat As someone who focuses on college transition, I know how important self-advocacy is for students. |
| Lynn Roper PhD @roper_lynn A1. Self-advocacy is one of the most important skills for all individuals especially those with learning differences #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg @RocketPrincipal @bstackbu Thanks for joining! #LDchat |
| Lynn Roper PhD @roper_lynn My dissertation was on self-advocacy and assisting with the transition to college #ldchat |
| Elizabeth C. Hamblet @echamblet #LDchat A1) On a basic level, self-advocacy is asking for what you need. We can help students by modeling how to do this, then having them try it on their own. Some may need a script to follow at first. |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Self-advocacy enables kids to communicate what they need to succeed. Learn more about helping your student self-advocate: https://t.co/Sg3tlRroon #LDchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg Self-advocacy holds a special meaning for my teens and young adults with ADHD. They're the main players, not parents. Support independence: Teach them in making choices, problem solving, self-regulation, and efficacy. Support successes and challenges. #LDchat |
| Lynn Roper PhD @roper_lynn Exactly. One of the key findings from my study was that those students who came to college having been taught and had parents model were successful #selfadvocates #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg All children with #LD and #ADHD can benefit from developing self-advocacy skills. Get issue-specific resources and tools: https://t.co/XuDdQtWj2A #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg The second question is coming up… #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q2. How do we help children who feel uncomfortable speaking up for themselves? #LDchat https://t.co/TbD3qIFRTK |
| Elizabeth C. Hamblet @echamblet #LDchat A1) Adults (parents and teachers) need to help students practice these skills so that they are confident about their abilities before they graduate from high school. |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Shy kids may find it especially hard to request help. Here are 10 helpful tips to help kids speak up for themselves: https://t.co/8tZKhNXBaF #LDchat |
| Elizabeth C. Hamblet @echamblet #LDchat A2) They may need to give them chances to rehearse what they want to say. They may even need help with the wording (thinking language-based LDs). |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Building a support network can also help kids feel more comfortable asking for help. Here are four tips: https://t.co/tPpXsJmQq0 #LDchat |
| Lynn Roper PhD @roper_lynn A2 this is a great question. Modeling and practice of these skills is essential. Roleplay #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Let's move onto Q3… #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q3. How can we teach kids to start advocating for themselves at an early age? #LDchat https://t.co/1AC6Lk8xr3 |
| Elizabeth C. Hamblet @echamblet #LDchat A2) Have them start by advocating with teachers with whom they feel comfortable to build confidence. Eventually, we all have to advocate with people who aren't receptive, so they'll need to do that, too. |
| Lynn Roper PhD @roper_lynn A3 just as @echamblet shared have them roleplaying with people they feel comfortable talking too. I think ensuring they understand what they need is key #ldchat |
| Elizabeth C. Hamblet @echamblet RT @roper_lynn: A3 just as @echamblet shared have them roleplaying with people they feel comfortable talking too. I think ensuring they understand what they need is key #ldchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A2. Older kids with ADHD fear sticking out among peers. Come up with "secret" signals." As a teacher, I walked around the classroom. It wasn't unusual. Some would "get in trouble" so we had a chance to talk. Better a trouble-maker than someone who has special needs :-( #LDchat |
| Elizabeth C. Hamblet @echamblet #LDchat Absolutely right. Knowing what they need is a skill, too. The case manager should go through this with students to make sure students agree with what's been recommended for them! |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Kids can learn to self-advocate at an early age. Here are some ways to build the foundation for younger kids: https://t.co/fK7jNNAfoz #LDchat |
| Lynn Roper PhD @roper_lynn A3 As Elizabeth shared. I have observed many students in classes not understanding why they receive accommodations. #ldchat |
| Lynn Roper PhD @roper_lynn Being able to understand can lead to being able to ask for what you need. Should begin as early as possible. #advocate #ldchat |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg One more question to go… #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q4. How can self-advocacy and an #IEP work together? #LDchat https://t.co/XZGOkDzXA8 |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg #IEP meetings are great opportunities for your child to practice self-advocacy. Consider these questions before having your child attend: https://t.co/GO5UemhqNV #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Parents can request that self-advocacy goals be included in an #IEP plan. Here’s an example of how to include and measure those goals: https://t.co/4TxQhVSWif #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Any final thoughts before we wrap up for the week? #LDchat |
| Lynn Roper PhD @roper_lynn Having it on the IEP would definitely help with more direct assessment and instruction. #ldchat |

| Lynn Roper PhD @roper_lynn Thank you for facilitating this important skill and topic. #ldchat |
| Elizabeth C. Hamblet @echamblet #LDchat Parents of teens may be reluctant to step back from advocating (and there may be times when an adult voice is needed), but they can take a coaching approach to let their student practice these skills they'll need at college or work. |
