Self-determination (SD) has been a major topic in special education literature over the past 10 years, but research-based practices on SD for students with disabilities are still limited. This study was designed to examine 6 programs identified as placing a major emphasis on promoting SD with students with disabilities. Qualitative data were gathered to examine stakeholder perceptions of SD outcomes, describe promising practices for promoting SD, and identify conditions supporting and barriers inhibiting successful implementation of practices. Data were analyzed through a cross-case analysis and were represented as themes reflective of perceptions of program success, site characteristics, promising practices, and factors that supported and/or impeded implementation. Recommendations for practice and future research are discussed.
