  4. “Self-Advocacy Skill Building” is a priority for Parent Centers. To quote from OSEP’s recent application package At a minimum, the PTIs must: (a) increase parents’ capacity to help their children with disabilities improve their early learning, school-aged, and postsecondary outcomes; and (b) increase youth with disabilities’ capacity to be effective self-advocates.

  5. What more is said in the recent RFPs for PTIs? See the handout for this webinar, online at: http://www.parentcenterhub.org/wp-content/uploads/repo_items/handout-selfadvocacy.pdf

  6. For Parent Centers, supporting youth with disabilities in building their self-advocacy skills includes: • Knowing what youth with disabilities need; • Using best practices to provide training and information to youth with disabilities;

  7. For Parent Centers, supporting youth with disabilities in building their self-advocacy skills includes: • Knowing current evidence-based education practices and policy initiatives in self-advocacy; and • Working with appropriate partners serving youth with disabilities.
