Students with disabilities need self-determination skills to achieve desired in-school and post-school outcomes. Many of these students need direct and explicit instruction to develop these skills. To provide this instruction, schools can infuse self-determination skills into content instruction or adopt a stand-alone self-determination curriculum. Principals hold a key role in promoting schoolwide self-determination on their campuses. They are encouraged to use the recommended strategies in this article for initiating efforts to increase student self-determination and involvement in education. (Contains 1 figure.)
