Description: It can be difficult for neurodivergent individuals to enter into the community if they do not understand what they need. Outings involve a lot of sensory factors: scents, sounds, etc. A good place for us to assess what we need is to (a) get curious about the sensory experiences we like and dislike, and (b) make inferences about the places we may visit. The following deck includes... - The definition of self-advocacy - A self-assessment of one's sensory likes and dislikes using both examples and answer boxes for the learner to fill in - 6 multiple choice questions about the sensory experiences one may experience in the community - 3 multiple choice questions involving hypothetical individuals seeking sensory support - 2 open-ended questions involving hypothetical individuals seeking sensory support - One open-ended question applying the above exercise to the learner - Some examples of self-advocacy tools
