Self-Advocacy Training Programme
Self-Advocacy Training Programme
The program is designed for parents, caregivers, teachers and support persons enabling through group discussions, role play, demonstrations, games, real-life situations, peer learning, visual tools and practical activities to make learning accessible and meaningful.
Our Self-Advocacy Training Programme is designed to develop self-awareness, self-determination, communication, decision-making and life skills among persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
A structured approach is supported by:
Understand their strengths, abilities, interests and support needs.
Develop self-confidence and self-awareness. Define choices, preferences, feelings and opinions.
Understand basic rights, responsibilities and entitlements.
Train in decision-making and problem-solving skills.
Develop personal safety, safeguarding and boundary-awareness skills.
Build independent living and everyday life skills.
Understand money, digital tools and other practical skills etc.
Participate in family, educational, vocational and community events.
The programme aims to move from “doing for” to “doing with” and ultimately “supporting people to do for themselves”, wherever possible.
Through self-advocacy, individuals with IDD can increasingly become active participants in decisions about their education, health, relationships, employment, finances, living arrangements and community participation.
