Students with disabilities share tips for success

We often hear about the problems faced by young people with disabilities, such as physical obstacles, social rejection, academic failure and medical problems. However, many of them overcome significant challenges to lead successful lives. Taking control of one's life involves learning, and then successfully applying, a number of self-determination skills, such as setting goals, understanding one's abilities and disabilities, and problem solving. The personal process of learning, using and evaluating these skills in a variety of settings is at the heart of self-determination.
