Reaching My Own Greatness (RMOG) is a self-determination curriculum created by People First of Washington.
This program is designed for adults with developmental disabilities to realize their potential as individuals and set goals. It is a hands-on, activity-based curriculum designed to build self-determination and advocacy skills.
In RMOG sessions, you will explore these topics:
- What is self-determination?
- Who I am
- What do I want?
- How do I get what I want?
- Communication
- Roadblocks
- Community
The Arkansas DD Network’s statewide advocacy coordination leads have trained teams to offer these sessions in communities across the state.
RMOG Teams are made up of lead trainers and support facilitators. The project and trainer teams are led by people with developmental disabilities.

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.
