According to Bennett, these are his thoughts about self-advocacy and advocating for himself at Think College.
What does self-advocacy mean to you?
Self-Advocacy means to respectfully ask someone to change something for you to make you more successful.
What self-advocacy skills do you want to learn at Think College?
Being realistic on what kind of help I can get on the internet. I don’t need to ask if the mentor can come to my house for example.
What self-advocacy skills did you learn in the self-advocacy classes. How can you use them at Think College Vermont?
I can use the skills by talking to a professor about problems I am having in the class or on the Blackboard page.
