My Personal advocacy Journey

I am inspired to help others because I believe its important for me to assist others. I strongly believe in team work and collaboration. I am inspired to advocate and support children and families because I have always wanted to be a teacher. I enjoy being compassionate and effective. I feel that I must be resourceful, available, sympathetic, and have empathy in order to effectively advocate for children and families. My ideal goal is to enhance the understanding and interactions of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I have obtained knowledge and resources by researching ASD. i have also gained knowledge that will enhance my professional career. My advocacy plan will be used to empower families, schools, and communities of ASD. The only challenge i have encountered thus far is being unemployed. But I plan to utilize my free timeti create and implement a more thorough presentation and advocacy plan. I plant to also do some more research. i encourage others in their advocacy efforts to be optismistic, have a vision, set realistic goals, and collaborate with a wide range of individuals. I also strongly advise them to recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potentials of all children and their families. The advocates must also develop and maintain relationsgips with the families we serve.

  1. I am so glad that you had always wanted to be a teacher. I am also glad that you are becoming an advocate to support children and families. Now days parents want us to passionate on what we do, and they have more respect for you. You have a great goal in mind and that is to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Do not let the unemployment get on your way. My work place is always looking for professional teachers such as yourself. Come and apply, be part of our team! You are so right, "We the advocates should develop and maintain relationship with the families that we serve.
