Feedback Survey
Supported Decision Making allows an individual to make choices about their life for themselves. These decisions might be where to eat dinner or where they want to live and work. Supported Decision Making empowers the person while still providing the support and input needed from a team of their choosing. Presenters will discuss how to encourage choice making across the lifespan, different ways to provide choices, and how to build the capacity to make choices. An example of a social story will be included to demonstrate how to make this process accessible to all individuals. Participants will learn about the process one family has chosen for their young adult son, who is Deaf-Blind, to pursue Supported Decision Making. The importance and benefits of this choice will be discussed along with strategies and ideas for implementation. Participants will be encouraged to come ready for discussion!
