“I’m Determined” Website

A project of the VA Department of Education, the I’m Determined website offers resources for youth, families, and educators around self-determination.  Self-determination is about youth with disabilities taking control of their lives.  Resources include videos, modules, a transition guide, downloadable brochures, and more.
