Teaching Self-Determination to Students with Disabilities: Basic Skill

Teaching Self-Determination is an excellent guide for human services professionals. Using the information in this book, I was able to make significant improvements to my program design and individualized service plans. Specifically, it helped me focus my goal writing and intervention planning to assist my developmentally disabled clients to improve their independent living skills. The authors address how to promote autonomous behavior, self-advocacy, and self-realization, all valuable skills in the development of self-regulating behavior. I would further recommend readers of this book also read any thing by Albert Bandura.
