Our organisation, The Slovenian Association of Disabled Student

Self-advocacy isn‘t• just about rights; it's about
responsibilities too,• just for the most able; people with
severe learning difficulties have a voice too,
• something you do in a group, it's a way of life,
![Page 20: If you don‘t stand up for your self who will Ana Lipicar Natasa Mauko.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551c0d88550346a34f8b522e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• isn't a current fad; it's about personal and civil rights,• isn't a solution to all problems;
society will have to change for people to get their rights, • isn't about being bolshy and
aggressive,
![Page 21: If you don‘t stand up for your self who will Ana Lipicar Natasa Mauko.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551c0d88550346a34f8b522e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• isn't about getting everythin you want; it's about being part of the real world like everyone else,
• isn't just about consultation with services; people decide what they want to speak up about not the services or staff.
