Self-Advocacy Curriculum

The Integrated Self-Advocacy (ISA) Curriculum by Valerie Paradiz is a curriculum designed for educators and service providers, families and people with Autism who are interested in supporting greater autonomy in decision-making, vocational planning, self-regulation and more from the person-centered planning perspective.

This curriculum is geared towards students in middle school through high school, as well as adults, however throughout the Teachers Manual, you will find icons that signify helpful hints for modifying the lessons for elementary school students, nonverbal and partially verbal students as well as other disability groups.

This curriculum is made up of a Teacher's Manual and a Student Workbook, and focuses on topics such as defining self-advocacy, learning how to articulate thoughts and feelings, background information about Autism, teaching students how to understand and interpret their surroundings as well as practical advice for becoming involved in their IEP and understanding how the ADA will affect their life.
