Today I learned a great skill in self advocating. I have had some problems with some of the kids and staff at CDS(all the students have disabilities in the program ) understanding my speech and teasing ( more on this soon) so I made a power point on CP and presented it to the class and head teacher. It went well and the great thing was that I did it without direct input from other adults. I did go down to the speech center yesterday and they said to educate others but they did not mention creating a power point . I am feeling proud of my self and hope that any parent reading this who has a special need kid remember that eventually they need to be an expert on there disabilities to the point where they can educate others.

That is very cool! I hope that they people listened and paid attention. They should be proud of you for what you do and not tease you!

Good for you on making the power point all on your own! I hope they really understood the point you were trying to make.
