Garrels, Veerle; Palmer, Susan B. – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2020
In this single-case experimental design study, eight adolescents with mild intellectual disability (ID) participated in a 3-month intervention with the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction. Findings indicate that student-directed learning may enable students with ID to increase their academic achievements, and the authors explore how this…

Shogren, Karrie A.; Wehmeyer, Michael L.; Palmer, Susan B.; Rifenbark, Graham G.; Little, Todd D. – Journal of Special Education, 2015
This article reports the results of a follow-up analysis of 779 students with disabilities who participated in group-randomized, control group studies designed to examine the efficacy of self-determination interventions in secondary school to examine the relationship between self-determination status when exiting high school and adult outcomes 1…

Zheng, Yuzhu; Maude, Susan P.; Brotherson, Mary Jane; Summers, Jean Ann; Palmer, Susan B.; Erwin, Elizabeth J. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2015
Building foundational skills in the early years for the later development of self-determination in adulthood for individuals with disabilities is important in the United States, but little research has been conducted to examine whether these skills are as important in other countries. In this phenomenological study, seven family interviews were…

Wehmeyer, Michael L.; Palmer, Susan B.; Shogren, Karrie; Williams-Diehm, Kendra; Soukup, Jane H. – Journal of Special Education, 2013
Promoting the self-determination of adolescents with disabilities has become best practice in secondary education and transition services, but to date there have been no studies establishing a causal relationship between efforts to promote self-determination and enhancement of the self-determination of youth with disabilities. This article reports…

Shogren, Karrie A.; Palmer, Susan B.; Wehmeyer, Michael L.; Williams-Diehm, Kendra; Little, Todd D. – Remedial and Special Education, 2012
Promoting self-determination has been identified as best practice in special education and transition services and as a means to promote goal attainment and access to the general education curriculum for students with disabilities. There have been, however, limited evaluations of the effects of interventions to promote self-determination on…

Wehmeyer, Michael L.; Palmer, Susan B.; Lee, Youngsun; Williams-Diehm, Kendra; Shogren, Karrie – Career Development for Exceptional Individuals, 2011
Promoting student involvement in planning has become best practice in the field of transition. Research documents the positive impact of such efforts on greater student involvement. Research also suggests that promoting student involvement results in greater student self-determination, but a causal link has not been established. This study used a…

Lee, Youngsun; Wehmeyer, Michael L.; Palmer, Susan B.; Williams-Diehm, Kendra; Davies, Daniel K.; Stock, Steven E. – Remedial and Special Education, 2012
This study examined individual and instructional predictors of the self-determination of students with disabilities, as measured by the "Arc's Self-Determination Scale" and the student version of the "AIR Self-Determination Scale." The general findings indicated that instructional, knowledge, and dispositional factors were stronger predictors of…

Wehmeyer, Michael L.; Shogren, Karrie A.; Palmer, Susan B.; Williams-Diehm, Kendra L.; Little, Todd D.; Boulton, Aaron – Exceptional Children, 2012
Promoting self-determination has become a best practice in special education. There remains, however, a paucity of causal evidence for interventions to promote self-determination. This article presents the results of a group-randomized, modified equivalent control group design study of the efficacy of the Self-Determined Learning Model of…

Agran, Martin; Wehmeyer, Michael L.; Cavin, Michael; Palmer, Susan – Career Development for Exceptional Individuals, 2008
Promoting self-determination has been identified as a means to both promote access to the general education curriculum and focus on transition-related skills. In particular, the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI) has been found to be effective in producing successful transition and academic outcomes for students with cognitive…

Shogren, Karrie A.; Wehmeyer, Michael L.; Palmer, Susan B.; Soukup, Jane Helen; Little, Todd D.; Garner, Nancy; Lawrence, Margaret – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2008
Since the early 1990s, attention has been focused on the importance of self-determination in the education of students with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to further our understanding of the construct of self-determination by examining the relationship between the "Arc's Self-Determination Scale" and the "American…

Shogren, Karrie A.; Wehmeyer, Michael L.; Palmer, Susan B.; Soukup, Jane Helen; Little, Todd D.; Garner, Nancy; Lawrence, Margaret – Exceptional Children, 2007
This article examines the impact of multiple individual and ecological factors on the self-determination of students with learning disabilities, mild and moderate mental retardation, and other health impairments. Baseline data from a multistate, longitudinal research project evaluating interventions to promote self-determination were examined…
