Self-advocacy is speaking and acting on behalf of your own rights. It’s the best kind of advocacy because no one knows better than you what your needs are. To be a good self-advocate you need to know about your rights and responsibilities. You will learn these by joining a local self-advocacy group. The group provides a supportive environment where individuals can develop confidence and independence.
