Advocate Respectfully
This is one of a series of brief articles on holding difficult conversations. In earlier issues of Ki Moments, I suggested ways to open communications that create mutual respect; we talked about the importance of knowing your purpose for the conversation; and we added Inquiry and Curiosity to our conversational toolbox. Here the topic is Advocacy.
Advocacy is the flip side of Inquiry – the opportunity that you open for yourself to tell your story. What can you see from your perspective that they’ve missed? Can you clarify your position without minimizing theirs? For example: “From what you’ve told me, I can see how you came to the conclusion that I’m not a team player. And I think I am. When I introduce problems with a project, I’m thinking about its long-term success. I don’t mean to be a critic, though perhaps I sound like one. Maybe we can talk about how to address these issues so that my intention is clear.”

What Disability Law and Advocacy Services Are Available to Help?
A number of agencies provide disability law and advocacy related services to physically and mentally disabled persons. Such agencies are available both nationally and in each US state. The importance of the advocacy of rights of disabled individuals provided under disability law cannot be understated. Disabled individuals as a group face far too many challenges in life and require help to be aware of their rights to equality with regard to other US citizens.
Unfortunately, some people exploit others who may be weaker than them in any aspect. The US federal government and state governments have therefore enacted laws to provide comprehensive protection to disabled persons. However, disabled persons as a class are usually not firm enough to fight their own discrimination cases against exploiters.
