Students with visual impairment are also not always permitted to participate in typical programming with their sighted peers. In this workshop, leaders 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.
