Empowering self-advocacy through the One‑Page Profile
Our One‑Page Profile is a simple, powerful tool designed to put individuals in control of telling their own story. It captures what matters most to them—how they prefer to learn, work, and live—so that anyone supporting them fully understands the best ways to help. This tool is adaptable across all environments: school, college, therapy, employment, and social settings.
What is a One‑Page Profile?
What is a One‑Page Profile?
- Personalized Snapshot: Highlights strengths, preferences, support needs, and communication style.
- Portable & Practical: Easily shared with educators, therapists, employers, and family.
- Advocacy-Focused: Helps participants articulate their desires and support needs effectively.
Why It Matters?
The One‑Page Profile amplifies this mission by:
- Centering the Individual: Emphasizing personal interests, dreams, and self‑defined goals to guide tailored support.
- Fostering Consistency Across Roles: Ensuring educators, job coaches, therapists, and others are aligned in their approach.
- Building Confidence & Independence: Enabling individuals to advocate for themselves and engage more meaningfully in their communities.
“The one page profile initiated by Inclusive World, is an excellent way of conveying about myself, about my strengths and weaknesses, and how to help me. I have been sharing it with my professors at San Jose State University, my supervisors during my internships at Genentech and at NASA and other employment organizations where I have been applying for employment. I recommend this to others who have similar needs.”
