Activity: Finding your voice

• The work you will be doing in creating your future goals and plans will celebrate your voice first.

• Sometimes it can be challenging to say what you want because you may not know, you may be unsure you will be heard, or have had little practice in doing so!

• That is OK!

• We will be working on developing your skills and voice over time.

Activity: Finding your voice

• A big part of finding your voice is figuring out what is important to you.

• This activity is an opportunity to think about and give voice to your future dreams, desires, and needs related to work, education, and independent living.

• Complete the mapping activity, What’s Important to Me, by filling in your answers to the questions in each of the areas provided. There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers, only thoughts that represent you.

Saving Your Work

• Make sure you put your name and date on any work where it is requested.

Notes

Facilitators:

1) If you have a designated place you would like to have files saved (such as Dropbox, a designated drive, etc.), please direct the youth to that place and assist with setup of files and labeling conventions.

2) If you do not have a space designated, you may need to have flash drives available or other options to save documents. Please assist with setup of files and labeling conventions.

3) A third option is to print the documents and have the students set up a notebook to store them.

Introducing the T-Folio Tracker

• As you move through the T-Folio, you will begin to create several documents and complete many activities.

• A tracker system has been developed to assist you with keeping track of what you have accomplished.

• Don’t be overwhelmed by the document. It will guide you through the activities and help you see what you have accomplished and where you have stored your files.

Notes

Say: Here is an example. This student has entered the date each document was completed and the location where the document is stored. It’s clear there are some components of the T-Folio that were printed and put in a folder that is kept in class and other documents have been saved to a thumb drive. You will now have a chance to record your first activity in your T-Folio Tracker.

Provide time for students to complete the first line of the T-Folio Tracker.
