Product Description:

This article examines the issues of self-determination and students with ASD in three ways; first, we examine the need for interventions to promote self-determination for students with ASD; second, we examine extant interventions that have an empirical basis and might be beneficial to efforts to promote the self-determination of youth with ASD; third, and finally, we propose that a social ecological approach to promoting self-determination is critically important for students with ASD and, indeed, for most students, and provides a useful context in which to engage in such efforts.
