New Podcast Teaches Self-Advocacy to High School Students with Disabilities
From the Southwest ADA Center (2.12.10):
Self-Advocacy for High School Students with Disabilities
NEW PODCAST SHOW from the DISABILITY LAW LOWDOWN
February 11, 2010 - The Disability Law Lowdown podcast just posted a podcast about self-advocacy for high school students with disabilities. Jacquie Brennan discusses a new information sheet published by the Pacer Center (www.pacer.org) that provides valuable information for high schoolers about how to plan for their future by taking an active role in IEP meetings and transition planning, whether the transition is to employment, post-secondary education, or independent living. It is so important that students learn to advocate for themselves so that goals that are set, and plans that are made, include the desires of the student and not just those around the student.
The Disability Law Lowdown podcast is available at www.DisabilityLawLowdown.com as well as on iTunes. People can listen to the podcast directing from a computer or can download it to an MP3 player, like an iPod.
The Disability Law Lowdown provides the latest information about disability rights and obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other disability-related topics. Subscription is free.
