A Competency Building Workbook
My Voice, My Choice is a project that helps you get to know yourself better, and for others to get to
know you better.
Self-Determination is the ability of individuals to make choices that allow them to exercise control
over their own lives, to achieve the goals to which they aspire and to acquire the skills and resources
to participate fully and meaningful in society. (Adapted from National Center on Self-Determination)
Self-determination is about:
Freedom
Authority
Support
Responsibility
Self-determination means being able to plan your own life. Self-determination means that a person
makes his or her own decisions. You plan your own future. You take responsibility for the decisions
you make. Self-determination will change the service delivery system.
Some of the ideas presented in this workbook are from “Speaking for Myself”, which was a project funded through a grant from the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities.

MONEY
Some of us take care of our own money and do our own
banking. Some of us have staff or family do this. What does it
mean to have control over your money? First, you decide if
you need help to handle your money. It means that a person
will help you to budget your money and to help pay your bills.
They may help write out checks and go to the bank.

Health Care I have the right to make decisions about my health care.
Health Care includes things like:
Going to the doctor
Going to the hospital
Medical treatment
Medications
Services from a nurse
I have the right to be given information about my body and treatment
options. I need to know the good things and bad things that could happen
to me because of the choices that I make. I also have the right to ask
someone to help me make decisions about my health care. I might need
help because I was not able to communicate (because my voice did not
work, my communication board was broken, or my hands hurt so I could
not use sign language.)

MY WILL
All people have things that belong to them. Some things are valuable
and some things are not. Some things are just special to me.
All people will die one day. I have thought about what I want to give
to people when I die. I have thought about to whom I want to give my
possessions when I die. These decisions are called my Will.
Many adults have a Will. People have a Will so that things that are
meaningful to them are given to people they care about. I can make a
Will so that I can say what will happen to my money and things when
I die.

should ask an attorney to help you
prepare a Will.
