The Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities is sponsoring a new self-determination project – the Self-Determination Channel – a YouTube channel by and for people with developmental or intellectual disabilities. The Self-Determination Channel stands out from other channels on YouTube because self-advocates host the videos, and decide and create the content.

The theme of the channel is: Self-Determination is Empowerment. It was started to give self-advocates a place where they can be seen and heard, connect with others, and mentor each other. Our hope is that the channel can be used as a teaching tool and show examples of what is possible.

Videos are being produced on topics self-advocates care about such as technology, employment, caregivers, living on ones own and advocacy. Every Tuesday, a Tuesday’s Tips video is posted on how to live a more self-determined life.

A question is asked at the end of each video. Viewers are encouraged to share their answers in the comment section. Links and additional information are posted below the video.
