formatlanguage description- – The concepts of self-determination and self-advocacy have been a focus in the education of students with disabilities and many new curricula, guidelines, and materials have recently become available for educators. This article describes a project that involved individuals with intellectual disabilities in making a movie as a strategy for exploring and developing self-advocacy skills. A facilitator/ director worked with the individuals as they discussed movie ideas based on self-determination, while learning concepts and working on component skills such as self-advocacy and problem solving. The authors share what they learned during the project and provide ideas for educators to follow a similar model with their students.

This article indicates a step-by-step description of the Photovoice process with examples from interviews, observations, and pictures that students took. The article closes with lessons we have learned about students' perceived levels of comfort, support, and self-efficacy in school and provides recommendations for implementing Photovoice projects with other students who have disabilities.
