AB - The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the self-advocacy program focusing on disability awareness on disability identity and disability-disclosure skills of young adults with disabilities. The participants were 24 young adults with disabilities who are in their 20s and attending a college. The self-advocacy program focusing on disability awareness consisted of 11 sessions and each session was conducted over three class periods. The first class of each session was on sharing the participants’ knowledge of their own disabilities, information on services, and rights related to their disabilities. The second class allowed the participants to practice skills for explaining their disabilities and advocating their rights in different social settings. In the third class, group activities were provided to help the participants maintain support groups and increase their leadership skills. To investigate the effects of the self-advocacy program on disability identity and disability-disclosure skills of the participants, two independent t-test was used. The results showed that there were statistical differences in disability identity and disability-disclosure skills between experimental and control groups. This study is meaningful in that it has verified the possibility and effect of developing programs based on disability-related knowledge for improving disability identity and disability-disclosure skills.
