Sensory and Social Scans

Developed by Valerie Paradiz, Ph.D., Director of Autistic Global Initiative

Taken from the Easter Seals Inclusive Learning Project

Project ACTION Student and Schools Initiative is lead by Judy Shanley, Ph.D.Slide2

3 Steps of Self-Advocacy

What is Self-Advocacy?

The three steps:

Self-Awareness

Advocacy Plan

ImplementationSlide3

Here’s an ExampleSlide4

Step 1: What Do I Need?

Jon has autism

Sensory difficulties

Tactile sensitivity

“I like people, but being touched feels like a bad sunburn.”

Jon wants to take the subway to work.

The subway makes Jon feel anxious.Slide5

Step 2: How Do I Get What I Need?

Jon wants to feel less anxious.

He makes a script that he can use when the subway is crowded.

Jon practices his script with a friend.

“Would you mind letting me take that seat? If I get bumped, I feel lots of pain. It is a medical problem. Thank you.”Slide6

Step 2: What is Disclosure?

Jon does not feel he needs to share that he has autism in order to make a good advocacy plan.

Jon is going to make a “partial disclosure” by saying he has a medical condition.

A partial disclosure helps others understand that your needs are legitimate, but you don’t have to “tell all.”Slide7

Jon’s Disclosure Choices

Type of Disclosure

No disclosure

2. Full disclosure

3. Partial disclosure

Possible Outcome

“Other passengers will think I’m weird if I ask them to move without some kind of explanation.”

“If I say I have autism, another passenger might misunderstand my needs, since many people don’t know that people with autism has sensory challenges.”

“If I explain my sensory sensitivity as a medical condition, other passengers are more likely to understand.”Slide8

Step 3: Implementation

Jon practiced his script.

Jon took the subway to work.

He used the script on the busy subway and was able to get the right kind of seat to keep himself from touching or bumping into others.Slide9

Disclosure and the ADA

We all have the right to access public transportation.

The American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects this right for people with disabilities.

Some disabilities are easy to recognize.

Some disabilities are not easy to recognize, like Jon’s sensory problem.

If you disclose to a transportation worker that you have a disability, they must abide by ADA rules and allow you access and certain supports.

Disclosure can be a form of self-advocacy.Slide10
