The Georgia Department of Education's Self-determination Guide contains information about the importance of self-determination skills and includes strategies to assist educators, and families in building self-determination skills in students from early childhood through high school.  A  teacher's guide for promoting self-determination skills and increasing student participation in the IEP process is included in the guide.  Information is also included for parents to assist them in helping their children make informed decisions as they transition into adulthood.

This technical assistance guide was developed by the National Dissemination Center for CHildren with Disabilities for parents and teachers who would like to help students with disabilities become more involved in developing their own Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).
