March 18: Supporting Student Self-Advocacy

Session Description

Study after study shows that when students are more self-determined - when they make more decisions and take more control over their lives and education - they do better in school and have better life outcomes. This presentation will discuss the importance of self-advocacy and self determination for students and provide practical ways students, parents, and teachers can enhance student self advocacy and self-determination.

Presenter: Melissa Theriault, Attorney and Wyoming Developmental Disability Waiver Case Manager, Wyoming Resource Center for Self-Determination
