Abstract	Seminal articles are not only timely in their ability to push the field in new directions but are often timeless in their message. As relevant today as it was 20 years ago, Mayer Shevin's and Nancy Klein's 1984 article on the importance of choice making raises thought-provoking implications about what choice making is, why it is essential in the lives of people with severe disabilities, and ways in which choice-making skills can be fostered. In many ways, this article lays out the direction for future research over the next several decades. Tremendous progress has been made in valuing and encouraging choice making for people with severe disabilities but still have a long way to go before the full range of choice opportunities are completely realized. The next step is to figure out how to enhance choice-making skills toward the full development of autonomy, self-direction, and control. (ERIC).
