This worksheet will help you work out if someone will be a good match as a support person.
You can use these questions for any situation. You can choose different support people for different purposes.
You can use this worksheet in different ways. For example, you can enter text in the boxes. If you’d like to express yourself in another way, for example visually – then leave the box blank before printing it.
Speaking up for what you want can be challenging. You can use the IMHA self-advocacy model in combination with this worksheet to help you let people know what it is you want.
Use the print function to print this page or save it as a PDF. There is no option to send this information and it will not be saved by the website.
