Client Rights and Advocacy 12

Self-Advocacy, Rights & Responsibilities


*High Priority Vocabulary handout

This worksheet has some strange instructions. Sometimes we skip reading instructions because we think we already know what to do. This worksheet helps us remember to pay attention to the DIRECTIONS not just the content of the page.


PRESENTERS: This worksheet is more sophisticated than it seems. The point is to alert learners to the fact that the CONTENT doesn't necessarily indicate what needs to be done. Once again, hold back on reading the directions aloud as long as possible to give learners a chance to show their own ability to read and interpret. Point out to them that doing the math problems is a different step than the directions first ask for. 

Discuss the correlation to working. It's important when we work for someone not to assume we know what to do just because we are interpreting the environment. You can use the example to make the point or come up with your own.


Alice came in to work and saw a mop and bucket set out for her. There was note on her locker that said "Please clean the bucket and clean the mop head in the heavy duty washer in the basement." Alice didn't read the note and started mopping the 2nd floor.  How do you think her boss reacted?
