International autism expert speaks at Trevecca
The event, titled The Wonder of Me: Self Advocacy, from Kindergarten to Careers, was open to the public and specifically tailored to those who live with, support, or work with someone with a special need.
“Whether ordering a meal or trying to get the career opportunity of a lifetime, at some point in our lives everyone has to advocate for their own needs and disclose the reasons why,” said Shore. “Beginning with a definition of self-advocacy and a process for considering disclosure, participants will learn the importance of gaining self-awareness, communication skills, and procedures to effectively educate people with autism on obtaining accommodations and greater mutual understanding.”
