About me
My name is Emily Cowen. I’m 24 years old and I have a physical disability called cerebral palsy. Life brings me significant challenges. I’m unable to walk independently, I have a speech impediment, and my motor skills are impaired. I use a communication device to efficiently share my thoughts. Despite my life circumstances, I choose to rise above that and create a successful, meaningful life for myself. I have my bachelors degree in psychology, I am a part of several disability advocacy organizations, and I live independently with my fiancé. A lot of people have said that I am incapable of being successful due to my disability. Not only do I prove them wrong every day, but it has made me have a passion to educate about disability. It has also caused me to have a passion to teach other disabled adults and youth how to advocate for themselves.

My approach
☻
Personalized
Each session is tailored to your specific situations where you have to advocate for yourself or others
❋
Comprehensive
I make a conscious effort to use plain language in sessions, and make sure each session is understandable
✦
Adaptive
Your communication method , cognitive level, physical ability, or location does not matter. I’m willing to work with anyone that feels like they need my services
✿
Interactive
Can role play through specific situations in your life that advocating is necessary
My manifestos
If you think you can do something, further discussion is not needed
If you don’t advocate for yourself, you’re just doing what everyone else wants
