History

Modules for getting to know I'm Determined

The modules are designed to provide background information on the self-determination movement for people with disabilities and the history of the Virginia Department of Education’s I’m Determined Project. These modules provide a strong foundation for beginning your journey toward self-determination.

Module One: The History of Disability

When you hear the word disability, do you think of physical and attitudinal barriers?  Why do you think that happens?
