Abstract
Students with learning disabilities (LD) often leave school without the necessary cognitive autonomy skills to independently navigate adulthood and meet the life challenges of the 21st century. Acquiring and maintaining cognitive autonomy skills (i.e., decision-making, voicing an opinion, evaluating the consequences of decisions, self-assessing abilities, weighing others’ influence in the decision-making process) is necessary for all students as they move through school, but particularly for those with LD. Cognitive autonomy is a component of self-determination and is crucial as educators prepare children/youth with LD for postsecondary education, postsecondary employment opportunities, and positive adult life outcomes. This article discusses the significance of cognitive autonomy for children/youth with LD.
期刊介绍:
Intervention in School and Clinic is practitioner-oriented and designed to provide practical, research-based ideas to educators who work with students with severe learning disabilities and emotional/behavioral problems. Emphasis is placed on strategies and techniques that can be easily implemented in school or clinic settings and address the multifaceted needs of students with severe LD and emotional/behavioral problems. Specifically, articles should target curricular, instructional, social, behavioral, assessment, and vocational strategies and techniques and have direct application to the classroom setting.
