Teaching Self-Determination to Students With Disabilities: Basic Skills for Successful Transition

Students with disabilities must learn self-determination skills if they are to leave school as capable and self-sufficient young adults. So say the authors of this textbook and curriculum for teaching students such skills as decision making, problem solving, and goal setting. They see self-determined behavior as reflecting four qualities: autonomy, self-regulation, psychological empowerment, and self-realization. Topics include transition services, federal transition requirements, and recommended practices in transitions for youth with disabilities. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
