Supported Decision-Making
Workshop, Video & Resources
Workshop Summary
Please join us on May 29th at 6 PM (EST), for an AI-presented webinar, as we discuss how to enable our kids with the skills and tools needed to avail themselves to supported decision-making, as opposed to substitute decision-making.
When individuals lack the legal capacity to act, they are not only robbed of their right to equal recognition before the law, they are also robbed of their ability to defend and enjoy other human rights. Guardians and tutors acting on behalf of persons with disabilities sometimes fail to act in the interests of the individual they are representing; worse, they sometimes abuse their positions of authority, violating the rights of others.
