Self Advocacy- A State Of Mind | Abby Edwards | TEDxYouth@Dayton

Self advocacy is more than just a means to an end. It provides an increased level of confidence which leads to the promotion of self-reliance in the accomplishment of one's life goals.
Abby Edwards is a senior at Vandalia Butler High School and has participated in College Credit + through Wright State University for the past three years. She plans to complete her Bachelor of Science degree at WSU and then begin work on a Doctoral degree in Clinical Health Psychology. She recently received a national Yes I Can Award for Self-Advocacy from the Center for Exceptional Center.

I really like this video and representation of the Blind and Service Dog community! It’s very inspiring and informative! I’m a Legally Blind advocate for people with disabilities and service dogs. (I post videos about those topics I just mentioned.) I’m also a Guide Dog user that graduated from Guiding Eyes For The Blind too. (January 2022.)

This might sound strange but I like the wind noise in the microphone. It makes for unique recording.

What an inspiring video. I loved hearing about how technology opened up so many opportunities for Abby, and I am curious about the technology that she is using while she's presenting. Does anyone know what this device is so I can learn more about it?

Me too I am saddened that this video has this many views and so few comments. ❤

We all know Kathy is the real star

[@ChristianSullivan]

Yes, in a way true. (But Kathy is an extension of Abby’s own self, even though She’s a beautiful Lab. I’m also a graduate student/Guide Dog user from Guiding Eyes For The Blind.)
