Give students with disabilities powerful tools for success in school and in life!
Michael Wehmeyer and Sharon Field present research-proven instructional strategies that empower special needs students at all grade levels to make their own decisions.
Self-Determination offers detailed and current practitioner-oriented approaches in combination with extensive teacher reproducibles—all within the context of inclusion, standards-based reform, and access to the general curriculum. Linked to the IDEA requirement for individualized transition plans, this user-friendly resource assists practitioners in teaching the skills necessary for making decisions about employment, job skills, further schooling, and independent living. Educators will discover how to:
Encourage students to become their own advocates by practicing assertive behavior
Use needs-assessment techniques to determine the level of instruction required for each student
Teach effective choice making, problem solving, and goal setting
Support both families and fellow educators in their efforts to teach self-determination skills
Special education teachers, general educators, and administrators will find this handbook an invaluable guide for helping students establish their own goals and plan for a strong and healthy future!
