什么是自我倡导？

自我倡导不是无理取闹，也不是想要什么就要什么，自我倡导并不是坐在那抱怨自己的残障，而是去争取那些对自己而言很重要的事情，当你了解了自己的长处和局限，你就可以在专业人士的支持下，更好地去表达自我，掌控你自己的生活。

Self-advocacy is not behaving disrespectfully and asking for whatever you want. It is not sitting around and complaining about your disability. self-advocacy is asking for the things that you know are important to you. when you know your strengths and weakness, you can express yourself and take control of your own life with the help of qualified people.

自我倡导也是自我决策的一部分即为你的生活做出重要的决定，比如高中毕业后你想做什么？去上大学？还是去学技术，掌握工作所需要的实用技能？当你越来越独立的时候，你可以决定自己住在哪，和谁一起生活，由谁照顾你。你会变得更有责任感，能够定下目标，并获得实现目标所需要的支持并在以后的生活中为自己做出决定。

self advocacy is also self determination. Self determination is making important decisions about your life, about choosing what you want to do after high school, like going to college if you qualify for it or attending a technical program to learn practicable skills to get a job. As you become independent you can decide where you will live, with whom you will live or who will help take care of you. You will be more responsible and able to set goal to get the support you need and make some decisions for yourself later in life.

自我决策也意味着你会融入到残障社群当中，成为他人的榜样，当你慢慢长大，你会了解自己的长处和局限，并为自我决策的实现而努力。

Self determination also means participating in your community and being a role model for others. You can work toward self determination when you become older and know your strengths and weakness.

当你成为了更棒的自我倡导者，你能为自己挺身而出，做出重要的决定。

And as you become a better self-advocate you will be able to stand up for yourself and make important decisions.
