Asking for Help Self-Advocacy Scenarios - Upper level
These scenarios were a great addition to our unit on self-advocacy. I used them for small group discussions, with my adult students working on adult living skills. The scenarios were mostly written for school (Middle, high school) students. I was able to find several that could apply to older learners and found the scenarios to be thought provoking and helped to generate some good conversations. - Christine G.
Asking for Help Self-Advocacy Scenarios - Upper level
I am still accessing these scenarios. I can apply them to various lesson plans that I am having my students work on. Whether it be an entry task journal response or acting out the scenario in a student-derived skit. It is fantastic. - steffani m.
Safety Problem Solving - Upper Edition with matrix/rubric
Helpful resource. Sometimes difficult to find resources on this topic for this age-group that deals with scenarios related to recognizing situations where you are in danger or being taken advantage of, so appreciate the options! - GrayCat Speech

Asking for Help Self-Advocacy Scenarios & Rubric
This worked really well to help my client learn to use his words when needing help instead of lashing out violently. We worked through scenarios that he often experienced and now he has the tools to navigate those situations in a more positive way. - Kayla D.
