Category:
Programs/

Duration: 1.5 Hours

Self-Advocacy Workshops are available to help young autistic self-advocates embrace their passions in life, and find success on their path.

Actionplay’s Self-Advocacy Workshops are conducted in mentorship with Actionplay’s group of autistic self-advocate mentors. Actionplay will provide its AIMS curriculum, and establish an environment of great opportunities for public understanding of autism by creating self-directed and goal-oriented achievement for the adults enrolled in this program.

  • This program is open to the general public.
  • Know your story? Be honest with yourself, every person with every kind of identifier and diagnosis has their own story. Actionplay will help individuals on the autism spectrum understand their own journeys and the gifts that they offer to the world.
  • Playful Intentionality How can you use your own story to benefit from the community, social programs, and disability-related support networks? Telling your own story in an effective away and exchanging that information appropriately will be improvised and discussed.
  • Mentorship with a Self Advocate Connecting with a self-advocate who is able to tell their own story, and help other self-advocates become empowered through their own individual story or “mission”
  • Connecting the Voice Working on specifically finding a voice to tell the story. This can be achieved through assistive technology or vocal coaching. We’ll guide our participants towards a public speaking version of their story.
  • Performance of story – We’ll conclude with an informal performance of our stories.

Contact us for a schedule and to bring a series of Self-advocacy workshops to your location.
