“…Self‐determination develops over the lifespan through person–environment interactions that satisfy psychological needs (Deci & Ryan, ; Grolnick, Deci, & Ryan, ) and support component behaviours and attitudes of causal agency (Wehmeyer, Shogren, Little, & Lopez, ). People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) tend to report lower levels of self‐determination than do their peers without disabilities (Mumbardó‐Adam, Shogren, Guàrdia‐Olmos, & Giné, ; Wehmeyer & Metzler, ) and with learning disabilities (Chou, Wehmeyer, Palmer, & Lee, ; Seong, Wehmeyer, Palmer, & Little, ). Although cognitive ability may impact the support needed to develop and express self‐determination, socioecological factors are essential for understanding this difference (Shogren, ; Wehmeyer et al, ).…”

Background This study explored the way families support self‐determination in young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) during life transitions. Method Qualitative case studies were conducted with two Canadian families who participated in semi‐structured interviews and ethnographic observations every quarter for one year. Analyses were informed by family systems theory and self‐determination theory. Findings Families considered the needs and preferences of the young adults with IDD, suggesting individualized approaches for balancing independence and protection. Families set short‐term and long‐term goals for increased independence, scaffolded the learning of new skills and collaborated on important choices. Collaboration occurred to the extent that all family members perceived agency in planning and implementing transitions. Conclusions Families supported the young adults with IDD in their psychological needs for competence, relatedness and autonomy, which allowed them to experience self‐determination. Findings have implications for supporting self‐determination and transition planning in the family system.

“…Unfortunately, there is a dearth of literature focused on self-determination in YA-ASD (Carter et al, 2009; Chou et al, 2017a; Chou, Wehmeyer, Shogren, Palmer, & Lee, 2017b; Wehmeyer, Shogren, Zager, Smith, & Simpson, 2010). Several studies examining self-determination in people with ASD and/or intellectual disability found variations in self-determination that were predicted by intellectual disability, educational setting, disability severity, and age (Carter et al, 2013a, 2013b; Mumbardó-Adam, Shogren, Guàrdia-olmos, & Giné, 2017b). The vast majority of these studies include only a subsample of children or adolescents with autism, leaving a large gap in our understanding of how to best assist YA-ASD in building self-determination skills.…”

This study examined rates of and contributing factors to self-determination among young adults with autism spectrum disorder. Caregivers of young adults with autism spectrum disorder, 16–25 years, from five Autism Treatment Network sites completed surveys about their young adults’ transition experiences including the American Institutes for Research Self-Determination measure. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis. Caregivers ( n = 479) reported their young adults with autism spectrum disorder as having moderate overall self-determination ( x = 38; standard deviation = 9.04) with low capacity ( x = 15.3; standard deviation = 5.67) and high opportunities at home ( x = 23.1; standard deviation = 4.59). Young adults with autism spectrum disorder with intellectual disability or severe autism spectrum disorder symptomology experience significant disparities in overall self-determination compared to those without intellectual disability and less frequent symptom expression and severity. Barring severity indicators, there were few significant predictors of self-determination. Findings show a breakdown in self-determination skill-building. Young adults with autism spectrum disorder with intellectual disability or severe symptomology experienced significant disparities in self-determination. These findings show that current promotion of self-determination is not meeting the needs of young adults with autism spectrum disorder. Future interventions must identify what supports young adults with autism spectrum disorder need to capitalize on these opportunities to be independent and exert autonomy in their daily lives.

“…[ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ] made a discriminant function analysis of predictors of self-determination scores, showing that only perception of choice opportunity (from among four variables, including IQ) predicted membership in the group of participants with high self-determination scores. Likewise, previous studies [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ] have also described opportunities for self-determination as significant predictors of self-determined actions. Interestingly, the autonomy domain has been shown to be influenced by opportunities at home but not in other environments, in line with recent studies where data was collected directly amongst participants with ID [ 23 ]; thus, stressing this shared perspective.…”

The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities have proclaimed the basic right of people to make one’s own choices, have an effective participation and inclusion. Research in the field of disability have stressed self-determination as a key construct because of its impact on their quality of life and the achievement of desired educational and adulthood related outcomes. Self-determination development must be promoted through specific strategies and especially, by providing tailored opportunities to practice those skills. Providing these opportunities across environments could be especially relevant as a facilitator of self-determination development. This manuscript aims to ascertain if opportunities at home and in the community to engage in self-determined actions are mediating the relationship between people intellectual disability level and their self-determination. Results have confirmed direct effects of intellectual disability level on self-determination scores. Indirect effects also predicted self-determination and almost all its related components (self-initiation, self-direction, self-regulation, self-realization, and empowerment) through opportunities in the community and at home. Autonomy was predicted by the intellectual disability level through an indirect effect of opportunities at home, but not in the community. These results highlight the need for further research to better operationalize and promote contextually rooted opportunities for people with intellectual disability to become more self-determined.
