Developing a Self-Advocacy Imagination in University Students (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This book provides a research-based, practical guide to developing self-advocacy skills in university students. Through their research and clinical work, the authors demonstrate that students planning to or attending university or college can benefit from education about self-advocacy, guidance on how to effectively develop it, and an understanding of its value during university and beyond.

Beginning with an explanation of self-advocacy, the book educates readers on how one develops self-advocacy skills and will provide a timeline for success, before, during, and after university. It also examines who is responsible for helping students develop self-advocacy skills and informs both parents and professionals through practical strategies and case studies. The experience and insight of the authors provide perspective from the front line: a professor and experienced department chair (both in Canada and the US), and an academic coach, therapist, and ADHD expert.

Through case studies and scripts, readers will find tangible takeaways they can utilize to begin developing and improving their self-advocacy skills. A guidebook for helping students with and without disabilities, this book is a blueprint for the universities, educators, and professionals who support them.
