Research literature and community narratives both emphasize the importance of self-determination in the lives of deaf youth. This paper describes the development, initial validation, and potential applications of a translated measure of self-determination for deaf youth, the SDI:SR ASL Translation (SDI:SR ASL). A sample of 3,309 young people who completed the SDI:SR, of whom 392 were deaf, was used in this validation study. Results provide preliminary support for the use of SDI:SR ASL with deaf youth. Findings also indicate that deaf youth who take the SDI:SR ASL score more similarly to youth without disabilities taking the SDI:SR than youth with disabilities. The SDI:SR ASL can be an important tool for researchers and practitioners to better understand self-determination among deaf youth and facilitate continued development of self-determination skills.
研究文献和社区叙述都强调了自我决定在聋青年生活中的重要性。本文描述了一种聋青年自我决定测量工具 SDI:SR ASL 翻译版（SDI:SR ASL）的开发、初步验证和潜在应用。本验证研究使用了完成 SDI:SR 的 3309 名年轻人的样本，其中 392 名是聋人。结果初步支持了 SDI:SR ASL 在聋青年中的使用。研究结果还表明，与残疾青年相比，使用 SDI:SR ASL 的聋青年与无残疾青年的得分更为相似。SDI:SR ASL 可以成为研究人员和从业者的重要工具，帮助他们更好地理解聋青年的自我决定，并促进自我决定技能的持续发展。
