Self-determination refers to the ability to consider options and make appropriate choices in the home, at school, at work, and during leisure time. A growing philosophical and legal base supports full participation of persons with disabilities in natural settings in the community, and empirical studies document the abilities of persons with severe and multiple disabilities to learn to make choices. Follow-up studies indicate that the majority of special education graduates have not made a successful transition from school to life as an adult in the community. Many remain underemployed or unemployed for reasons associated with lack of decision-making skills. This article presents a rationale for including self-determination in special education curricula. The article describes a framework for providing choices, based on an analysis of risk and benefits. Assessment approaches and teaching strategies are offered.

Solutions for mitigating and reducing environmental pollution are important priorities for many developed and developing countries. This study was conducted to better understand the degree to which inner-city citizens and foreigners perceive air pollution and respond to it, particularly how much they willingly contribute to improving air quality in Vietnam, a lower-middle-income nation in Southeast Asia. During mid-December 2019, a stratified random sampling technique and a contingent valuation method (CVM) were employed to survey 199 inhabitants and 75 foreigners who reside and travel within the inner-city of Hanoi. The data comprises four major groups of information on: (1) perception of air pollution and its impacts, (2) preventive measures used to mitigate polluted air, (3) commitments on willingness-to-pay (WTP) for reducing air pollution alongside reasons for the yes-or-no-WTP decision, and (4) demographic information of interviewees. The findings and data of this study could offer many policy implications for better environmental management in the study area and beyond.
