What core pre-employment transition requirement is met when teaching a student about disclosing a disability?
Correct Answer: D
The core pre-employment transition requirement that is met when teaching a student about disclosing a disability is self-advocacy. Self-advocacy is one of the five required activities that VRagencies must provide to students with disabilities under the WIOA regulations. Self-advocacy includes instruction in self-awareness, disability disclosure, requesting accommodations, understanding rights and responsibilities, and self-determination. Teaching a student about disclosing a disability helps them to make informed choices about whether, when, how, and to whom to disclose their disability, and to understand the potential benefits and consequences of doing so. Disclosing a disability is a personal decision that may affect the student's access to services, supports, and opportunities in education, employment, and other settings.
