Description

Self-determination is the principle of a person using their abilities to make their own decisions about their life based on their preferences, values, and interests.

This principle has empowered me to define my life, determine what I want to achieve, and envision success as a person with a disability. However, self-determination is applicable to all individuals.

In today’s episode, we will discuss what self-determination means, how it has shaped my life, and how the pursuit of liberty, happiness, and equality has shaped our society.
