Self-Advocacy Communication Cards: Hand This Page and All About Me Wallet Card, Ages 14 to 21

Self advocacy communication cards for teens and young adults in special education transition, with fill in pages for a driver, the doctor, a new boss, and emergencies.

Some moments are hard to explain out loud: a new bus driver, a busy doctor's front desk, the first day at a new job, or an emergency. These personalizable "hand this page" sheets let a student with a disability share what helps, in their own words, before stress takes over.

**What's included (9 page printable PDF, fill in templates):**

• Start Here page with a 5 minute quick start

• Hello, Driver. (bus or van driver)

• For the Doctor's Front Desk (communication, helper and release, medicines, ride home)

• Hello, New Boss. (how I learn best, how I communicate, my job coach or support office)

• For Police or Emergency Helpers, with practice tips for showing the card safely

• "All About Me" Wallet Cards (3 fold over cards per page)

• Thank you page and terms of use

**Use it in 5 minutes:** pick the page the student needs next, fill it in together, and practice handing it over. Laminate the wallet card and add the same facts to the phone's Medical ID.

Students can write, dictate, or point; an adult can scribe. Only include what the student is OK sharing.
