Advocating for Yourself in School and Beyond (ft. Lucy della Penna)

Hello, Brains! Have you ever felt like you’re constantly explaining yourself just to be understood? In this video, we dive into the world of self-advocacy—how to stand up for your needs when it feels like no one’s listening, especially in school. You'll meet Lucy della Penna, who’s navigating ADHD, dyslexia, and more, while learning how to communicate what she needs to thrive. It’s all about knowing your brain, practicing what to say, and staying confident, even when it’s tough. Let’s empower ourselves to be our own best advocates!
