In the centre of all considerations are the people with disabilities. They shall create their future themselves in conscious and active way and become active part of the society.

The module presents the self-determination concept as one of the key elements to live independently and to make autonomous decisions. People with disabilities achieve autonomous behaviour, should be able to enforce and advocates their rights of making own decisions.
