Opening Doors to Self Determination
Brought to you by The PEN
Students who have self-determination skills have a stronger chance of being successful by addressing the need for self-determination skills among adolescents, including some of the major components of self-determination which are: Knowledge of self and others, Personal management, Effective communication, Self-advocacy and advocacy within systems, Decision-making, Goal setting & Problem-solving
These experiences help a young person test his or her strengths as a self-advocate. Adult outcomes for the students were assessed using a scale completed by parents.
