Abstract

Increased self-determination skills are critical in improving life outcomes for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). The recent growth of post-secondary education settings for those with IDD have provided an additional setting in which self-determination skills should be taught. Using a multiple-baseline single case research design, the researcher examined a self-determination choice-making curriculum along with the use of a self-monitoring checklist to increase self-determination skills for individuals with IDD who attend a post-secondary educational setting. Data were analyzed using visual analysis and repeated measures ANOVAS. Results indicated that the overall points exceeding the median (PEM) of the intervention was 0.70, indicating a moderate effect. Standardized measurements indicated mixed results. Implications for practice and future research are provided.
