My work in Advocacy includes a number of components. It begins with first listening to the needs of families, researching backgrounds and precedence, creating strategies and plans, facilitating those strategies and plans, representing the families needs to schools, community or government, following up with letters and phone calls, and making sure that appropriate processes for accountability are in place to ensure ongoing success.
Some individuals wish to learn the process of advocacy so that they can carry on in the future and advocate for themselves. My role then shifts a bit as I mentor and coach them through each step of the process.
