new or unfamiliar in early childhood. The term,
for years (Brown & Cohen, 1996). (p. 78)
Although the concept of self-determination
is not new, a thoughtful review of the overlap
between current practice and practice infusing
the promotion of self-determined behavior
must be conducted within the early
childhood field. A foundation for consideration
of these issues has been laid in this
and previous articles (Abery & Zajac, 1996;
Brown & Cohen, 1996; Erwin & Brown,
2000, 2003; Palmer & Wehmeyer, 2003), and
provides guidance for considering, developing,
and evaluating strategies to infuse selfdetermination
in early childhood research
and practice. A critical aspect of movement
toward embracing self-determination as
both an objective and valued outcome of
early childhood research and practice will be
partnering with families to explore the diverse
meanings of self-determination and to
develop evidence-based practices for building
on families' existing competencies and
strengths to promote self-determination and
other valued outcomes for children and their
families.
