Self advocacy is for me

There is nothing more satisfying for me than to be able to get involved in self advocacy and nothing is more rewarding than to encourage our kids to do so. As long as it is done with respect, courtesy, and with professionalism, it is perfectly okay.

For it is only me who best understands what I need to advocate for and it is only me who best understands why I need to do it. Self advocacy can be extremely rewarding if it is done in the right way. Plant the seeds and watch them grow is my motto. I guess that in a way we are all self advocates in our own right. I advocate for and on behalf of blind persons and others do the same for their own near and dear causes and passions.

I’m Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day and asking you to go out there and self advocate. Come by and visit me at www.sterlingcreations.ca.
