You will research your disability and create a brochure about the characteristics that you need to be aware of when advocating for yourself in three settings; at home, at school, and at work (you will use the job you chose in our career options unit). You will be using various websites to find the top ten general characteristics for your disability. You will then get into pairs and find overlapping characteristics. In your brochure you will have a section listing five characteristics specific to your disability and five that may be similar to students with different disabilities. You will also use the internet as well as personal knowledge to find skills that could be used to advocate for yourself and others with disabilities. This can include solutions for specific situations where disabilities might create complications or general ideas about navigating through life with disabilities.
