Phoenix, AZ) - The Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (ADDPC) and Pima County School Superintendent Dustin Williams are proud to announce they have partnered to provide an in-person presentation on Achieving a Better Life Experience, or ABLE, accounts for individuals who have a disability on Sunday, August 7, 2022, at 3:00 pm, in Tucson. ABLE is a federally-approved savings program that offer persons with disabilities, their families and friends the option to contribute to tax-exempt savings and investment accounts for disability-related expenses without affecting eligibility for state or federal benefits.
The presentation by Brittney Chipley, Executive Director of AZ ABLE, will take place at the Realty Executives office located at 6444 E Tanque Verde Road in Tucson. The event is free and open to the public. Individuals interested in attending are asked to register at https://bit.ly/ADDPCABLE.
"ABLE accounts give people with disabilities more independence and financial security than they have ever had before," stated Jon Meyers, ADDPC Executive Director. "This presentation should provide a ray of hope for individuals and families who have long struggled with how to save for the future without losing their current supports and services."
Pima County School Superintendent Dustin Williams shared, "I am excited that our students with disabilities and their families have a way to save and pay for expenses outside of school, such as basic living expenses and housing, without having to impact their eligibility for Medicaid benefits."
For more information about ADDPC's goals and efforts around Arizona, visit the Council online at https://addpc.az.gov/about.
For more information about ABLE accounts in Arizona visit https://az-able.com/

The Parent Center network has a common list of 14 priority topics we are expected to address. The list comes to us from the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) at the U.S. Department of Education.

Welcome to the Hub page that focuses on the priority topic of "best practices in self-advocacy skills building." Here, you'll find quick connections to materials and resources you can use with youth with disabilities and their families to build their abilities to advocate for themselves. Items marked with ** are designed to be parent-friendly.

What is Self-Advocacy, and Why is It Important?

Wrightslaw answers these two questions quite succinctly, so we're going to quote from them. Speaking directly to those with disabilities but relevant to all of us:

What is Self-Advocacy?
Self-Advocacy is learning how to speak up for yourself, making your own decisions about your own life, learning how to get information so that you can understand things that are of interest to you, finding out who will support you in your journey, knowing your rights and responsibilities, problem solving, listening and learning, reaching out to others when you need help and friendship, and learning about self-determination.

Why is Self-Advocacy Important?
So that you have the knowledge needed to succeed and are given the chance to participate in decisions that are being made about your life.

Parents may need some orientation to this topic, too. Here's one such resource.

Training Video on Self-Determination.
Especially for parents (25 minutes) | Available in English and Spanish.
Do you want to help your child with a disability live an included and productive life? Your son or daughter needs self-determination skills such as making choices, setting goals, and self-advocacy. The Self-Determination video will provide you with a foundation of how to teach these skills to your son or daughter. Also available in Spanish (Cómo ayudar a nuestros hijos a desarrollar su auto determinación). From the Utah Parent Center.

Resources for Youth Themselves

There are resources about self-advocacy for parents, families, and service providers, but what about resources that speak directly to the young person with a disability? Fortunately, there are many. We've listed a few starters below (believe us, there are more!). Access them, share them, use them with young people with disabilities.

Learn about Self-Advocacy: Speaking Up.
For youth with intellectual disabilities.
This resource-rich website pairs minimal text with short, step-by-step video clips of youth themselves talking about self-advocacy. Includes a to help youth identify self-advocacy groups in their state. Lots ofvideo stories from self-advocates on key topics such as the ADA, education, jobs, health, home, and self-determination.

Youth in Action! Becoming a Stronger Self-Advocate.
Speaking directly to young adults with disabilities, this resource defines self-advocacy, describes why it's important, and suggests 4 steps to becoming a stronger self-advocacy. Youth-friendly, brief, to the point, this resource is a product of the National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability for Youth (NCWD/Youth).

Youthhood.org.
Youthhood is a not-to-be-missed website for youth. This fun and engaging site will remind students with disabilities that they are not alone as they explore community and build a future. It's chock-full of great resources and information. Introduce young people to the site by starting with "What Can I Do Here?"

Self-Advocacy: Find the Captain in You!
Video (10 minutes) | A funny and fun way to introduce self-advocacy to young people with disabilities.
Follow two hosts with dry humor on their morning news talk show, Midday In The Valley, as they explore and discover the powerful force of a term called: Self Advocacy. Covering two interviews and speaking with their ever helpful side kick, Captain Self Advocacy (yes he is really wearing tights!), they come to understand why understanding what you're good at, what you need assistance with, and how to effectively communicate with people in life is very important for everyone, especially youth with disabilities. Remember: Nothing About You Without You!

Speak Up! Using What You've Got to Get What You Want
Engaging multimedia tool that easily guides youth through training.
This tool helps youth with disabilities learn how to speak up and advocate for themselves. With this tool, they can map out personal goals, learn about their rights and responsibilities, learn the best way to ask for help, and get organized.

Fact Sheets, Toolkits, and Training Materials on Self-Advocacy

Oh, where to start, and what to list? There's an amazing amount of materials out there designed to help schools and families prepare young people with disabilities to advocate for themselves. In fact, many more than we will list here. We know you haven't got all day, so start with these resources and see how they fit your learning and training needs.

Whose Future Is It Anyway? (2nd edition)
Subtitled "A Student-Directed Transition Planning Process," Whose Future Is It Anyway? helps prepare students for their IEP meetings and gain self-determination skills through six sections that contain 36 lesson sessions. The lesson package comes with a Coach's Guide that outlines the lessons, how to teach them, the roles of the students and teachers, as well as expected outcomes.

Building Self-Advocacy and Self-Care Management Skills.
Here's a handy list of suggestions and insights for parents to build their youth's self-advocacy skills at home, especially with respect to health care and management. There are several videos, too.

My Health, My Choice, My Responsibility.
My Health, My Choice, My Responsibility is an 8-session curriculum-based group training program focusing on advocating for healthy choices on a daily basis. The emphasis is on gaining knowledge to make informed choices and the skills and tools needed to speak up for good health. Topics include being a self-advocate at medical appointments, physical activity, nutrition, being safe and healthy at home, and feelings. Participants learn the material through discussions, exercises, and visual aids. The link above will take you to a subsection, where you'll need to scroll down a bit to find the curriculum (go just past "Online Videos").

Personal Preferences Indicator: A Guide for Planning.
For use with individuals with significant developmental disabilities | Available in English and Spanish.
This is a tool to assist in planning with and for a person with a developmental disability. It's a guide, not a checklist, for accessing information about the person's preferences across 7 domain areas. The items are used as cues or prompts for discussing with the person or their family/friends the important considerations in developing a plan of support. Domains explored include the individual's favorites, emotions, socialization, self-determination, physical self, health, and family roles. Also available inSpanish | Los Indicatores de Preferencias Personales: Una Guía para Planear.

Resources in the Parent Center Network

In the Driver's Seat: Six Workshops to Help with Transition Planning and Self Advocacy for Youth with Special Needs.
From the Vermont Family Network, In the Driver's Seat is a series of six workshops for youth in transition from high school to adult life. Although this curriculum is suitable for all students, it was developed for students with special needs particularly those with development disabilities. During the workshops, youth experience hands-on learning that helps them achieve adult, life goals. With encouragement and support, young adults identify their skills, interests, and needs, and work toward improving their ability to self
advocate.

Dude, Where's my Transition Plan?
Includes checklists you can use with youth.
Speaking directly to youth with disabilities, this 28-page booklet comes from PEATC, the PTI for Virginia. In addition to multiple transition planning worksheets, the booklet also includes several checklists and discussions of self-advocacy.

Future planning is an important yet difficult process that involves gathering information, looking at options, making decisions that may change, creating back-up plans, asking for help, and a lot of self-reflection. All of this is done with the individual who has a disability as the central person who has his or her own hopes and dreams. It is a balancing act that can be made easier through open and honest conversations.

The Future Planning - A Roadmap of Our Futures, Our Wishes is divided into four chapters.

Chapter One - Future Planning: What Is It All About?
This chapter includes topics and questions that come up frequently in discussions about future planning. It is about exploring goals, triggers, options, and the personal and family journey during the planning process.

Chapter Two - Worksheets to Guide Communication and Planning
This chapter includes worksheets that can help to: get to know the individual and what is important to him or her, what is needed to support daily activities, how to enhance quality of life, and face transition and change.

Chapter Three - Important Considerations
This chapter includes topics that often come up when a person approaches adulthood. It explores financial and legal decisions while emphasizing the importance of supported decision making when appropriate.

Chapter Four - Relationships and the Human Connection
This chapter shares experiences from individuals with disabilities and their families who support them. Topics include family relationships, changing roles, professional support, value of friendships, and culture and tradition. It ends with profiles of individuals and their personal journeys.

Each classroom will be outfitted with cleaning supplies so that each classroom can be sanitized as you exit.

COVID-19 Vaccine

Vaccinations are the fastest way to herd immunity from COVID-19 and the fastest way to campus life. While students are not required to get a vaccine at this point, they are strongly encouraged to consider it. Vaccines help protect individuals as well as the people around them. As more vaccines become available, receiving one is becoming easier.
