Shoultz, Bonnie; And Others
This compilation of materials offers an overview paper and an annotated bibliography on self-determination. The overview paper on self-advocacy for individuals with developmental disabilities, authored by Michael Kennedy and Patricia Killius, presents a definition of self-advocacy, notes that poor communication skills should not prevent an individual from participating in community living, emphasizes that self-advocacy means having choices and having a say about services, and presents guidelines for starting a self-advocacy group. An annotated bibliography on self-determination describes 13 articles, journals, books, and other resources. (JDD)
