These free printable self advocacy scripts help autistic and hyperlexic individuals learn how to be a self advocate.

It's primarily parents who have to advocate for their autistic and hyperlexic children in the younger years, but one day, that child will need to be able to advocate for themselves on their own as well. 

It's an important skill to learn how to self advocate, which means, at some point, you've got to give your child the tools they need to be able to do so. And kids are never too young to start advocating for themselves.

These free self advocacy scripts are a great starting point for kids, teens, and even adults, as it provides the language they need to be able to advocate for their wants, needs, and dislikes.

About these Free Self Advocacy Scripts

These social scripts cards use the same format as the other social scripts. They're small enough to fit in the palm of a hand or in a pocket so they can be taken on the go and/or used discretely.

Their main purpose is to give autistic and hyperlexic individuals - regardless of age - the prompts they need to communicate their wants, needs, and preferences. 

You'll also find scripts to teach kids, teens, and adults to negate, which is an important part of self advocacy. It's just as important to ask for what you need as it is to set up boundaries, say no, and tell people to stop doing things that make you uncomfortable.
