Abstract Details

2016, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Curriculum and Instruction: Special Education.
Recognizing that many students with disabilities, including students with severe disabilities, lack self-determined behavior and the impact it has on students school and postschool outcomes. Educators and researchers are increasingly advocating to better equip those students with the needed skills and knowledge to enable them to be self-determined and control their life to the fullest possible extent. This study surveyed 197 elementary and secondary special education teachers in public schools in a single state. The survey focused on teachers’ perceptions of the importance of teaching the seven skills of self-determination and the barriers they perceive that inhibit them from teaching self-determination. Teachers attributed considerable importance to teaching self-determination skills and reported addressing these skills with moderate to high frequency in their classrooms. Overall, rating of the frequency of teaching these skills were less than the rating of the importance across all skills. Few differences in rating of frequency of instruction were found based on school level.
