Free Printable Self Advocacy Scripts

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.

This printable is seven pages. Blank cards have been included as well so that you can write down your own and customize the scripts to fit your needs.

Simply print, cut, and assemble the cards into little books so you can take them on the go, include them in a calm down corner, etc. You can either staple them together or hole punch and put on a key ring.

Free Printable Scripts to Help with Making Connections in Reading

These free printable scripts cards help autistic and hyperlexic kids with making connections in reading.

---

When I was doing research on the making connections reading strategy, I came across lots of free printable resources that did either one of two things. One, these listed a bunch of question prompts (specifically WH questions) to ask when reading. Two, they just had a definition of the three main types of connections with no concrete examples.

Now, if you have a hyperlexic kid, then you know that WH questions are hard for them. And giving them a vague idea and definition of something, without providing clear-cut examples, isn't going to be helpful either. It just doesn't play to a hyperlexic child's strengths.

However, me being me, I made something to help that does play to a hyperlexic child's strengths when making connections in reading.

The free speech scripts provided here are designed to help with the first issue I saw with other making connections printables: the use of question prompts.

With hyperlexic kids, it's better to rephrase the questions into fill-in-the-blank or cloze style sentences instead of using WH questions. So that's why these cards don't contain any questions. Instead, the kids can simply read a sentence and fill in the blanks to verbalize what they are thinking. They might still need help with making those connections while reading, but at least they'll have the language to describe them when they do.

About these Free Making Connections in Reading Cards

These speech 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, put in your child's school desk, and/or used discretely (if that's what your child would prefer).

Their main purpose is to give autistic and hyperlexic kids the prompts they need to communicate any connections they make while reading.

Due to J's hyperlexia, greeting people was particularly challenging when he was younger. Besides the obvious struggles with WH questions like "what's your name?" or "how old are you?", he often responds inappropriately or with something that made no sense in the context.

Interacting with other kids at the playground is difficult for my son J. He prefers to play by himself or solely just with his brother K. And when he does try to initiate conversations with other kids on the playground it gets a bit awkward sometimes. He sometimes says things that don't make sense based on the social context or the question. Awkward social skills like J's are a common sign of hyperlexia.

I still recall the first time J ever said the sentence "I am feeling frustrated." It absolutely shocked me to hear those words coming from his mouth.
