Working Together for Successful Transitions Workshop February 2015

Self Determination means that a person makes his or her own decisions, plans his or her own future, exercises control over the life that you desire and takes responsibility for the decisions you make.

Take responsibility for your own actions! That also means to accept the consequences….these may be good or bad!

Have the determination (or drive) to do things for yourself. Setting Personal goals. Knowing when to ask for help. Having the courage to dream big and go after your dreams. Learning who you are, what you want and how to make it happen. (This is a lifelong process!)

Self-Determination looks at the big, overall pictures of your life. Self-advocacy is a way to bring those big ideas into your own life by making it personal.

A Self Advocate is someone who speaks for themselves!

Teaches you about your rights and responsibilities. Teaches you how to be independent….like living on your own or getting a job. Lets you know its ok to ask for help when needed. Teaches and gives you the confidence to stand up for yourself and let others know you are just like anyone else with hopes and dreams.

Tell YOUR story! Nobody knows your life better then you! Talk to family and friends! Get connected- sometimes it isn’t what you know but who you know. Speak up for yourself and others!
