Self-Determination is the freedom to live as you choose, or to act or decide for yourself what you want or need. You have the same right to self-determination as anyone else (with or without a disability) and are entitled to freedom, authority, and supports to exercise control over your own life. You have the right to self-determination, regardless of your guardianship status.

In RMOG sessions, Individuals with disabilities will focus on their dreams, goals, and rights. They will learn strategies for making choices and learn how to ask for the supports they need to thrive, their way.

Contact Statewide Self-advocacy Coordinator, Sherice Smith, to schedule a team & sessions in your community.
