Abstract
"You Don't Have To Be a Lawyer to Scare People and/or Get What You Want," I discuss the many avenues for self advocacy. Again utilizing a power point presentation, I explain the importance of knowing one's own needs, what is available for those needs and what is unavailable, calmly and emphatically making your needs known to he appropriate individual/agency, the importance of the, "gimpvine," being a, "squeaky wheel."
