The Value of Assertive Communication for Self-Advocates
Assertive communication is a foundation of self-advocacy. “Speak up.

Participants also learn the skill of how to recognize assertive behavior, and how it differs from passive and aggressive behavior.
These simple and engaging exercises - including role-play and body language practice - can be done many times with the same group, as you work together to empower each other with the skills of assertiveness.
