PROJECT SETA: STUDENT ENHANCING THEIR ADVOCACY
This project is funded by the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities and aims to develop a coalition of student leaders with intellectual and developmental disabilities, who are prepared to take the helm of Georgia’s advocacy movement upon graduation from their IPSE programs.
Ways To Engage
Didactic Lessons
For ten months, Project SETA students will participate in virtual sessions with the Center for Leadership in Disability’s Training and Advocacy Manager and Community Advocate Specialist. During these monthly calls, students will receive didactic instruction related to advocacy, leadership, and professionalism.
Each Project SETA student will be required to redeliver 1.5-2 hours of content to the other students within their IPSE program. Redeliveries will introduce students to the following:
- Basics of Self-Advocacy
- Tips for Being Assertive
- How to Write and Deliver an Elevator Speech
Project SETA students will participate in practice sessions with the Training and Advocacy Manager and Community Advocate Specialist prior to their redelivery. Additionally, the Training and Advocacy Manager and Community Advocate Specialist will attend their in-person redeliveries to serve as co-trainers and provide feedback and support. This activity allows Project SETA students to utilize the skills learned within the program and introduce their peers to the fundamentals of advocacy.
