| Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
Self-determination is a combination of skills, knowledge and beliefs that enable a person to engage in goal directed, self-regulated and autonomous behavior (Field, Martin, Miller, Ward and Wehmeyer, 1998). Students with disabilities who demonstrate self-determined behaviors are more successful at securing educational services and accommodations that they require than peers who possess fewer skills in these areas (Brinckerhoff, 1994). Coordinators of the Office for Students with Disabilities at eight private colleges or universities in the Northeast with total undergraduate student populations of less than 5000, participated in this qualitative study. Using a survey questionnaire designed by the researcher and interview questions that addressed each area of the conceptual framework adapted from Wehmeyer's Component Elements of Self-Determined Behavior , data about programs and services that support the development of self-determination in the areas of self-regulation, self-advocacy and self-knowledge or awareness skills was collected..
