The Self Advocacy Starter Kit

Six tools for a difficult appointment, meeting or decision: the idea behind it, a worksheet, wording you can copy, a checklist and one action to take this week.

You do not need the right words. You need a starting point.

Self Advocacy
Starter Kit

Six tools. One starting point.

What's inside

  1. Start where you are, name what is actually wrong, in plain words.

  2. Know your rights basics, the four promises almost every service has made to you somewhere.

  3. Get ready before you walk in, your three points and the one thing you will not give up on.

  4. Say it so it lands, facts, effect, ask, in that order.

  5. Keep the record, a contact log so memory is not the only thing you are relying on.

  6. Ask again, higher up, because a no from one person is not a no from the whole system.

Plus a one page summary you can keep with you and take into any room.

Print it, or fill it in on screen. Work through one tool a week, six weeks and you have a full picture of what you need, what you are entitled to, and how to ask for it.
