Assignment:
Now that you have researched a specific disability category and explored how the laws govern how we identify and provide special services for individuals with that disability, it is now time to reflect on how you as an individual can advocate for your selected disability category.
To complete this assignment, first reflect on your research. Then, in a 2-page paper (not counting title and references pages), share 3-4 specific ways in which you could advocate for your selected disability. Be sure to address the following in your paper:
1. How can I provide advocate/awareness of this disability category on a local level?
2. How can I provide advocate/awareness of this disability category on a state level?
3. How can I provide advocate/awareness of this disability category on a national level?
4. Is there already an organization for this disability category in my area? If so, how can I collaborate with this organization? If not, where is the nearest one, and how could you collaborate with that organization remotely?
Include websites and/or information for local, state, and national organizations where applicable.
You should use 2 to 3 reputable resources (for example, research journals, articles, or books), cite them using in-text citations, and list them on a references page formatted according to APA guidelines.
