TTT Spring 2025: Supported Decision-Making Guardianship Slides

Download SDMGuardianship2025slides

Supported Decision-Making (SDM) is an alternative to guardianship. Not every individual with an intellectual disability needs guardianship and the subsequent loss of their civil rights. SDM is an approach in which an individual is assisted with their decision making, which will enhance their skills, develop more independence, and allow them to take charge of their life. We welcome in George Zaske – parent using Supported Decision Making, an attorney, a member of statewide group promoting Supporting Decision Making, and a disability advocate.
