In this episode, my guest Sky Burke and I discuss importance of self-advocacy. If you don’t know what that term means, self-advocacy is the ability to speak-up for yourself and the things that are important to you. Self-advocacy also means being able to ask for what you need and want and also be able to tell people about your thoughts and feelings. Sky has always been great at advocating for herself, and I think her stories will inspire others to seek out the help they need. Sky is also a self-published author, and you'll hear all about how she put a book out into the world. She also offers suggestions for iPad apps that can help students overcome their challenges in academics.
