Advocacy Series: Teaching Advocacy. Finding Your Voice & Owning Your Story

Teaching self-advocacy looks different when disability, medical complexity, or communication barriers are part of the story. In Episode 2 of our Advocacy mini-series, we explore how advocacy actually begins, what “finding your voice” means when words aren’t always available, and how caregivers support self-advocacy with safety, dignity, and compassion.This episode is for caregivers, disabled individuals, and future providers navigating advocacy in medical, educational, and everyday settings — where being understood matters as much as being heard.
