*The Dignity of Risk and The Needs for Self-Advocacy *
An introduction to The Dignity of Risk and Self-Advocacy. Research has

In this workshop, the leaders will: review current research related to
self-determination and choice. They will define Dignity of Risk; define
Self Advocacy; explain the four major components of Self Advocacy; apply
Self-Advocacy to the Dignity of Risk. The workshop will be interactive and
informative.
