Guest guest Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hi all: Not sure if this will reproduce well or if the links will work, but here is information on self-advocacy tools from a publication by and for self-advocates called The Riot: From: The Riot! at HSRI [mailto:The_Riot_at_HSRI@...] Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2011 4:27 PM fsn@... Subject: New Riot Products The Riot Presents... Products to promote self-advocacy and self-determination Space Race - a game to teach and learn about self-determination " We played space race recently with a group of ladies who really enjoyed the game and a few things came out of the game that I don't think would have come out in any other planning session. " ~ Tricia Brennan, Statewide Coordinator for Self Directed Day Services and Self Determination Space Race is a board game designed to teach people with disabilities and others how to apply self-determination skills to their own lives. Addressing topics like self-advocacy, making decisions, taking responsibility and learning from mistakes, Space Race provides a fun activity for discussing what individuals want regarding relationships, community life, work, housing, health and well-being. Whether you're a student transitioning from school to adult life, a person who wants to take charge of your own life, a family member, or a professional supporting people to design their own lives, you will find Space Race a valuable and relevant resource.
