This transition guide explains Supported Decision-Making and how it can help individuals with disabilities make their own choices while receiving guidance and support from trusted people in their lives. It encourages students and families to explore ways to promote independence, self-determination, and personal involvement in decisions related to education, healthcare, employment, finances, and daily living.
The resource is designed to help youth, families, educators, and support teams better understand alternatives to more restrictive decision-making arrangements. By focusing on collaboration, communication, and individual choice, the guide supports young adults in building confidence, self-advocacy skills, and greater control over their future as they transition into adulthood.
