Self-determination is an important construct for the quality of life of people with disabilities and autism, as they often have severe difficulties due to their cognitive deficits. Making choices, however, requires awareness of the existence of alternatives and the possibility to make judgements based on each option.
The book, which is the first of its kind in Italy, contains an educational curriculum for helping people with severe intellectual disabilities and autism to develop these skills. It also includes an assessment scale and ideas which can be developed in various every-day life situations.
