Important Means

There is both an intuitive and theoretical link between self-determination and quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Theoretically, definitions of self-determination have framed the construct with regard to its contribution to a person’s overall quality of life, while theoretical frameworks of quality of life have included self-determination among the core dimensions contributing to enhanced quality of life. These theoretical linkages have been supported by research on the quality of life and self-determination of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and the relationships between these constructs. This article provides an overview of theoretical frameworks of self-determination, their relationship with theoretical frameworks of quality of life, and research pertaining to these constructs with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It is concluded that self-determination and quality of life are important constructs in designing supports that enable people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and that an important means to enhance the quality of life of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities is to promote and enable people to be self-determined.

Special Education Programs

This study aimed to identify the level of commitment of special education programs in Jordan by means of qualitative indicators for self-determination. The sample consisted of 62 special education centers and institutions: 25 for intellectual disability, 15 for hearing disability, 10 for visual disability, and 12 for physical disability. To achieve the aim of the study, a self-determination scale of qualitative indicators was developed and an acceptable level of validity and reliability was derived before being applied to special education programs. The results revealed that special education programs that employ quality indicators of selfdetermination are at medium level. Also, at the medium level were the domains of staff, institution atmosphere, family, students' services, and physical environment. However, in the domains of individual educational programs, instructional strategies and self-evaluation, the level was low. The study proposed a set of recommendations based on the findings of the study.
