This chapter describes the importance of self‐determination for transitions and supports for adults with disabilities. Self‐determination is defined and its application to the disability context examined, followed by an overview of a multicomponent model to engage adults with disabilities to self‐regulate problem solving to set and attain life and career goals and to enhance self‐determination.
