For this last day of #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth, we highlight the Self-Advocacy Toolkit. Learn why self-advocacy is important, what to advocate for, and how to communicate about your #literacy needs improvingliteracy.org/kit/se…
Self-Advocacy: It Is You BE EMPOWERED You are the person who can best advocate for yourself because you know yourself the best. TAKE CONTROL You can take control of your education and become a more confident learner. DEFINE YOURSELF You are defined by your strengths, not your challenges. WORK TOGETHER You are not alone. You are stronger when you work with others.
