Empowering transition-aged students with disabilities to engage and meaningfully participate in planning for their futures is crucial to their success in adulthood. This session explores innovative approaches to enhance self-determination skills among students navigating the transition from school to post-school life. Participants will delve into practical strategies and evidence-based practices that promote self-awareness, goal setting, decision-making, problem-solving, and self-advocacy. Through interactive discussions and case studies, attendees will gain insights into creating inclusive environments that foster independence and confidence in students with disabilities. Join us to discover how person-centered self-determination instruction can profoundly impact the journey of transition-aged students toward achieving their life aspirations.
