Powerpoint and other presentations from Self-Determination for Texas Regular updates from the Self-Determination movement Read real stories of Self-Determination on the blog page An explanation of the similarities between Self-Directed Support Corporations and a personal story of microboard success from Jackie Golden Articles and resources on everything microboards related, including person centred planning, at Community Works TASH has a number of good resources related to microboard principles One of the common questions families ask when we start talking about Self-Determination is how we can know what a person who has communication challenges wants. Therefore the exploration of communication is an important thread which underpins our journey towards Self-Determination.
