Self-Determination:
Supporting Successful Transition (May 2003)
NCSET Research to Practice Brief
This brief defines self-determination and how it is learned.
It describes research on self-determination indicating that youth
with disabilities who earned higher scores on a self-reported scale
of self-determination completed during high school had experienced
a greater number of positive adult outcomes in areas such as employment,
rate of pay, and living independently. This brief addresses development
of self-determination as it relates to student-led Individualized
Education Program (IEP) meetings and suggests a resource to help
with that process. A link to a Web resource provides a definition
and specific information about available self-determination curricula.
The brief includes a chart summarizing tips for parents and professionals
for promoting self-determination in youth with disabilities. Finally,
it provides descriptions of and contact information for several
self-determination curricula, plus some helpful Web links.
