Abstract Details

2011, Specialist in Education, Miami University, Educational Psychology.
This paper reports on a research study designed to examine differences in level of total self-determination, autonomy, psychological empowerment, self-realization, and transition service satisfaction between college students with an identified disability and college students without an identified disability. Participants in the non-identified group were matched to the identified group participants on four variables. All participants completed an online questionnaire including a modified version of the Arc’s Self-Determination Scale and open-ended response questions. Results were analyzed via multivariate analysis of variance and independent sample t-tests. Significant differences were not found between the two groups. The author of this study attempts to explain why non-significant results were obtained and what can be implemented in the future to improve transition services and supports for all students. This paper also examines the limitations of the current study and suggestions for future research.
