The Keys to Self-Determination LIMITED
Wednesday July 17, 2024 1:45pm - 3:00pm HST
Room 319 B
Feedback Survey
The concept of Self Determination has been a stated focus in education and support professions for decades. Unfortunately, for such a pivotal construct, there are surprisingly few educational opportunities to learn about Self Determination, let alone how to help others prepare for self-determined lives. This presentation will offer participants a useful Self Determination training opportunity developed in partnership with The Center on Disability Studies (Hawai‘i UCEDD) and the State of Hawai‘i Developmental Disabilities Division to bring Self Determination training to individuals with IDD, state agency personnel, educators, support professionals, and others statewide.

“The Keys to Self Determination” curriculum was initially developed to train coaches and peer mentors working for the Postsecondary Support Project (PSP), a Federal inclusive postsecondary education project for students with ID based at the University of Hawai‘i. Members of the PSP team will discuss how “The Keys” are applied in the context of preparing transition-aged students for self determined lives. The team will also discuss Hawai‘i’s inclusive postsecondary education initiative (IPSE), agency partnerships, the PSP’s on-campus summer residential bridge program and its summer employment initiative. Participants will receive a durable SD training aid and are invited to explore possible collaborations or training support for other IPSE or UCEDD programs.
