“…While some of these obstacles are the result of informal routines and cultures of working in particular sites (Harris, 2003;Rawlings, Dowse & Promoting choice and control.. Shaddock, 1995), others are due to regulatory frameworks, local organisational policy, resources and the existing structure of services (Bannerman et al, 1990;Dowson, 1997;Stancliffe et al, 2000). In both cases, staff are held accountable; in the first case to fellow workers, in the second to management.…”

“…Clearly these requirements put obstacles in the way of the residents' independence which none of us face in our own homes. By complying with relevant regulations and procedures, the staff are compelled to follow procedures and practices that actively disempower the users of that service (for another example see Stancliffe et al, 2000).…”

This paper discusses the gap between policy goals and practice in residential services for people with learning disabilities. Drawing on a nine-month ethnographic study of three residential services, it outlines a range of obstacles to the promotion of choice and control that were routinely observed in the culture and working practices of the services. Issues discussed include conflicting service values and agendas, inspection regimes, an attention to the bigger decisions in a person's life when empowerment could more quickly and effectively be promoted at the level of everyday practice, problems of communication and interpretation, and the pervasiveness of teaching. We offer a range of suggestions as to how these obstacles might be tackled.Promoting choice and control..

“…Research has demonstrated that while youth and adults with disabilities have the capacity to be selfdetermined, they are generally less self-determined than their peers without disabilities (Stancliffe, Abery & Smith, 2000;Wehmeyer, Kelchner & Richards, 1996). When provided self-determination instruction people with disabilities are more self-determined (Wehmeyer, Palmer, Lee et al, 2011) and have higher rates of successful postsecondary (Morningstar, Frey, Noonan et al, 2010) and employment outcomes including higher wages and increased likelihood of receiving benefits such as vacation, sick leave and health care (Wehmeyer & Bolding, 1999;Wehmeyer & Palmer, 2003;Wehmeyer & Schwartz, 1997).…”

BACKGROUND:The Paid Apprenticeship and college for Youth with disabilities (PAY Check) program is a partnership between the states's University Center of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD), state Vocational Rehabilitation, Local Education Agencies (LEA), Delgado Community College (DCC) and University Medical Center-New Orleans (UMC-NO). PAY Check uses a "braided" funding approach and builds on foundations established by an earlier post-secondary education (PSE) for youth with intellectual disabilities grant from the U.S. Department of Education. PAY Check includes a high school diploma option, PSE, paid apprenticeship components, and incorporates self-determination training throughout. The program serves students ages 18-21 years who receive special education services and are eligible for VR services. All components of PAY Check take place in integrated community settings (e.g., DCC campus, public transportation, paid apprenticeship sites) and provide opportunities for participants to acquire and practice pre-employment transition skills (Pre-ETS) as delineated in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (PL 113-803, 2016). OBJECTIVE: This paper describes the unique transition program for youth with disabilities called PAY Check. CONCLUSION: This article offers rationales for including its key components, discusses the programs development, provides an overview of the program, and concludes with recommendations for next steps.

“…Concretamente, la literatura científica actual se refiere a la repercusión de variables como la inteligencia, la edad, el género, las habilidades sociales y la conducta adaptativa o los valores, creencias y actitudes de la persona sobre la promoción de la autodeterminación en la persona (véase Tabla 1). Del mismo modo, algunas investigaciones han prestado especial atención al influjo del ambiente global y próximo que rodea a la persona sobre la consecución de una conducta autodeterminada (Stancliffe, Abery y Smith, 2000;Wehmeyer, Abery, Mithaug y Stancliffe., 2003).…”

ResumenEste trabajo analiza los resultados de varias investigaciones que estudian la mediación de los factores individuales y ambientales en la adquisición y expresión de la autodetermianción en adolescentes con discapacidad intelectual y del desarrollo. Se emplea la modalidad de investigación documental, con la revisión de veinte artículos de investigación. Los resultados evidencian la repercusión de una amplia gama de factores, así como las múltiples correlaciones entre éstos. Su estudio contribuye a mejorar la comprensión acerca de su impacto en la construcción y expresión de la autodeterminación y justifica las actuaciones diseñadas para la promoción de una plena autodeterminación. Palabras clave: autodeterminación, discapacidad, variables predictoras, características individuales, influencias ambientales AbstractThis paper analyses the results of several investigations that study the mediation of individual and environmental factors in the acquisition and expression of self-determination in adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A documentary research is conducted, with a review of twenty research articles. The results show the impact of a wide range of factors and multiple correlations between them. Their study contributes to better understanding of its impact on the construction and expression of self-determination and justifies actions designed to promote full self-determination. Keywords self determination, disabilities, predictor variables, individual characteristics, environmental influences.En las últimas décadas, el principio de autodeterminación ha comenzado a erigirse en el terreno científico y profesional como referente en la la provisión de servicios para personas con discapacidad intelectual y otras alteraciones del desarrollo, y en un estándar en la lucha contra la opresión social gestada desde los medios de comunicación, las fundaciones benéficas, los profesionales de diferentes ámbitos, la política en general o las formas de producción, así como para la defensa de la capacidad de decidir y opinar de estas personas . Junto a otros conceptos como la emancipación, los derechos y la dignidad, la autoestima, la eficacia y la autoeficacia, percepción de la valía y calidad de vida, la autodeterminación se ha ido introduciendo de forma progresiva en la investigación y en los servicios que se ofrecen a las personas con discapacidad.La atención prioritaria de los profesionales y servicios al estudio de la necesidades de apoyo de las persona con discapacidad con el fin de proveerlas de los medios y recursos necesarios para alcanzar los resultados personales deseados y la mejora de su calidad de vida, junto con el creciente número de publicaciones que hemos encontrado que versan sobre la autodeterminación y sus repercusiones sobre la CDV de estas personas, justifican el interés de este estudio por mejorar la comprensión de este amplio y complejo concepto analizando la repercusión de las características personales y el entorno en que se desarrolla el individuo sobre la vida de los ...
