Self-Determination Instructional Strategies for Youth with Learning Disabilities

Field, Sharon·1996·Journal of Learning Disabilities

Abstract

The concept of self-determination is rapidly gaining attention and acceptance within the disability fields. The focus on selfdetermination is particularly strong in the transition-from-school-to-adulthood movement. The recent Individuals With Disabilities Education Act of 1990 mandated that students with disabilities be involved in the development of their transition plans and that students' preferences and interests be taken into account as transition plans are developed. This article describes four self-determination models and examines several instructional programs and strategies to promote self-determination in students with learning disabilities. Emerging issues in self-determination are examined, and the research and policy implications of these issues are discussed. These issues include (a) redefinition of roles, (b) the importance of taking risks, (c) individual versus group orientation for self-determination, and (d) the importance of early experiences.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
