This paper discusses issues related to concepts of preferences and choice making among persons with severe disabilities. Included are suggestions for acknowledging preferences, teaching choice as a decision-making process, and the broader implications of choice making among persons with severe handicaps as an expression of personal autonomy and dignity. Directions for future research are discussed.
